Hi everyone!
I am conducting a car analysis and want to display the images of the car models in a matrix along with their model names.
The image is good but without the name a little bit to little information.
I could place the names into the rows to make it collapseable but this isnt my intention.
Any ideas on how to do that?
Right now it looks as this. I can only see images. I would need the names too.
Screenshot from my matrix table. This shows the row headers
You can drill down to see the sub-models. Thats cool. Would be nicer to see them with Images as well.

Hi, @raymond
According to your description, it seems like you want to combine the Web URL of the cars and the car name in one column and display them together in a matrix.
After the test, I found that it’s not possible to use one single column to display one picture and the text, because one column can only have one data type. If the column [URL] is defined as an “Image URL” type, then it can not be combined with the “Text” type. Therefore, I think you can just place both of the two columns into the Matrix like this:
This is my test data:

If your data is different from mine and you can not achieve what you want using this method, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) or the sample pbix file you created.

@raymond , Not sure I got it.
In a matrix, if you use category first then yous should be able to see text and drill
you can also check card browser as another visual option -https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104381278?tab=Overview
Hi @amitchandak
thanks for your help.
I am not sure if this is what the desired output should look like.
To make it a little more visual, I have attached this Image. Hence, I have a image url and I have a name. Both attributes should define the first layer of the matrix. Like so:
