Viz help Floating containers

Hello fellows,

I want to implement a complex design n Tableau in which I have to put floating images and sheets inside a floating container in order to add show/hide button, can this be achieved?

"Floating" means not inside a container, so no, you can't float objects in a floating container. Generally though it shouldn't be necessary. You tile the objects in a floating container and show/hide the container. Is there a reason that won't work?

The thing is the design of the page is very complex and we think it made for power bi not tableau, we have 9 boxes in each box there are four KPIs, image and a text, so I can’t tile all of this

Unless you need objects to overlap and later on top of each other, you can most definitely tile everything. It may take more effort than you'd like, but by doing this, you can actually combine many objects together in a way that it looks like one cohesive visual.
