How to Include images in reports from folder or url or binary data in Power BI Desktop
Ok I solved it... I think. At this time i believe that there is a limitation with both Power BI Desktop and the Online Version in working with both Binary Images and Images from URLs.
However if i design it in Excel 2013 using the Power View module and have the Images display in a Power View Report then I can Get Data using the Power BI Online version and the photos and data will show online in the "Classic Report Canvas". It does not work in the "New Power BI Report Canvas"
It also at this time does not work in Power BI Desktop.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
Just to add a reply to my own question - I managed to get the result that I wanted with the Chiclet Slicer (using urls to images), which can be found in the public visuals gallery:

There's a video on the Microsoft Power BI Youtube channel showing how to:

How did you manage to convert the binary fields into a URL?
Thanks,
