Hi @Partha2318  - In your power query editor itself, can you create a custom column 

 

"data:image/jpeg;base64," & Binary.ToText([IMAGEFIELDVALUE], BinaryEncoding.Base64)

 

if the image data is already with base64 string, 

"data:image/jpeg;base64," & [IMAGEFIELDVALUE]

 

you should be able to display images correctly in Power BI using base64 encoded strings from your database. Double-check that the image data is correctly encoded and that the Data Category is set to Image URL.
