    Anonymous I have seen images working in table visual but it only works for URL that over web not local path. So if you upload your image and then use that URL in table visual it will work. Also ensure column is defined as Image URL under Data Category.

    Thanks for the reply ankitpatira .

    I tried giving url in the following format (C:\Users\UserName\FolderName\ImageName.jpg/Png), as a value for image column in every record(lets say 5records), but i didn't get any luck.

    am i missing anything here..??
