Create Form in PowerBi

I need to recreate a document that looks the same as a Word document in Power Bi, the native looks like this:

 

Locational Information

Name

Data from table

Utility

Data from table

Shared Facility

Data from table

911 Address

Data from table

Fire Department and Phone Number

Data from table

GPS

Data from table

POI

Data from table

Operational Information

Operational Contact

Data from table

Maintenance Contact

Data from table

Nominal Size at POI

Data from table

Nominal Energy Duration

Data from table

Interconnect Capacity

Data from table

POI Charge Limit

Data from table

Co-located Charging

Data from table

NERC CIP

Data from table

Use Case(s)

Data from table

Dispatch Method

Data from table

 

I have added the table with the data for the right-side column into Power Bi already, but I don't know what type of visual will allow me to create the two columns with the left column static and the right to pull information from the table.

Hi @rosamhernandez1 ,
If you want static columns on the left side and dynamic columns on the right side, then I recommend using the Table Visual Object as well as the Matrix Visual Object. These two visual objects correspond to different scenarios for you to choose from.
For example, if you have a single piece of data with only one value per static column as shown in the image below:

Then I recommend that you use the table visual object, where we use the index column as a relational join between two tables to ensure that our output is dynamic.

However, if you have a large amount of data and each static column has more than one value, as shown in the figure below:

vxingshenmsft_6-1732676991640.png

Then I suggest you use the matrix visual object, where we use the index column and the lable as a relational join of two tables with a one-to-many relationship to ensure that our output shows all results

Thank you, I believe this is the solution! I have a few questions, and will message you directly to not belabor the topic here.
