I need to create a report in power view where I need to display images in tile. I have found one solution to do so, to store the images as a binary data in data model table using the following link

http://www.sharepointanalysthq.com/2014/09/adding-data-bound-images-to-power-view-with-power-query/comment-page-1/#comment-87049

I tried this but still not able to show the images, I am getting only Image icon not the actual image.

I hit an issue that seems to be identical to yours. I just saw camera icons in Power View in Excel and standalone Power View on SharePoint. One of the Microsoft product team has indicated that there is a known issue with loading images into Power View using Power Query and PowerPivot in Excel 2013. See Miguel Llopis' answer here on April 27th: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powerbi/archive/2014/09/03/7-new-updates-in-power-query.aspx?CommentPosted=true#commentmessage It appears that using a url (external site or SharePoint site) or loading to the data model via SQL Server may be the only options for now to display images in power view. See here for more information.
