How can I fill a table cell with a picture? 

Correct answer Abhishek Rao

Hi @Shild,

 

You can insert an image into a table cell by converting it into a graphic cell. Just select the cell, go to Table > Convert Cell to Graphic Cell, and set the Cell Type to Graphic. Then, use File > Place (Ctrl/Cmd + D) to insert your image. If needed, adjust it with Object > Fitting > Fill Frame Proportionally.

For a detailed guide, check out this article: Insert Image into Table Cell in InDesign.
