Moving Text – Live Ticker – Marquee

Up until now, elements in Power BI Reports didn't move. In most cases, this is perfectly fine. But sometimes you might want to add a live ticker or just some moving text or image to get the user's attention.

With the marquee statement, you can define the scroll direction, speed, number of times the text should move over the screen, and many other settings. Of course, you still have full flexibility when it comes to formatting.

On top of that, the marquee tag also works for other objects, so you can also let an image move across your screen.

In the sample report below, you can find several pages that showcase what can be done with this technique. Just download the sample report to see the code behind each element and adjust it to your needs and add it to your report. If this doesn't work out, simply get in touch and we'll help you out.
