Icons in table header
Hi, I have a request from my client to show an icon or image on the column header for a Table. I don't see any option available in the properties. Appreciate any advice to do this. Thanks....
Hi manojk_pbi,
At the moment, Power BI tables don’t support adding icons or images directly into the column headers — headers only allow text formatting.
Workarounds:
- You can place icons/images inside the cell values using conditional formatting (e.g. based on measures).
- If you really need decorated headers, a common trick is to overlay images or shapes above the table visual and align them with the headers (static, not dynamic).
- For more flexibility, consider the Matrix visual with conditional formatting on values, or a custom visual from AppSource that supports richer headers
Best regards!
