Inserting an image/table into a text box

Hi, 

 

I am trying to add a table into a textbox but when I copy and paste the table into the textbox it is no longer displayed as a table. 

 

I decided to create the table as an image and then added this in, however as you scroll down the textbox (there is a lot of text before the table)  the image of the table moves and doesn't stay still. 

 

I have tried to group the table and the textbox but this doesn't seem to have worked. I have also tried to lock the objects and snap to grid but this didn't work either. 

 

Just wondering if anyone could please help. 

 

Where I want the table:

What happens when you scroll up:

Thanks!

Hi @rosieclough ,

In fact, Text box only supports the input of static text information, it is impossible to insert table or image into textbox. You can create measure and put it in a card visual to display. 

Multiple Dynamic Data in Text Box

Besides that, create a tooltip page as a workaround, please review the content in the following links for details.

Display images in a table, matrix, or slicer in a report

I know this post is 2 years old, but I just came across it as I had a similar issue and found the suggested solution was not working for me as I needed a "summary" page on which the visual was included.

My suggestion is to put the Textbox at the bottom of your page and then increase the canvas size. That way rather than scrolling inside the textbox, user scroll on the entire canvas and the position of the visual to the text stays the same. 

The downside is that you may not see other viduals you have on the same page anymore as you scroll away from them.
