Hello,

 

I am developing an app, in which I am using SQL server as my data base, in Data table one column is varbinary.

the data in the column is " appres://datasources/Tablename/table/%5bbcdr%5d/rows".

I want to display the data in plain text in the field in my app.

    Try using the PlainText([SQLColumnName) function.

    I have used plaintext (column name) function, but it stills shows the URL.

    Sorry, it looks like the PlainText() only works on HTML & XML tags.  Here is an article I found on decoding a URL in Power Apps. I think you just have to replace the inputText: value with your column value.
