Adding a table as dynamic text using an expression

Inserting Table dynamic text allows you to display the attributes from a table within your map or source database. After selecting the table you want to use, you can specify a specific attribute field to display using filtering and query options. You can query and use table values from any table you can access in ArcMap.

You can display an attribute field by using a SQL query to choose field values, or you can use the Expression Parser dialog box to create a script that returns the attribute or attribute field value you want displayed.
