ArcGIS Desktop – How to Place a Table in Layout View in ArcMap 10.5

arcgis-10.5arcgis-desktoparcmaplayouts

I'm trying to place a table in the Layout View for a map that I am making.

However, when I click on Add Table to Layout from the table options, it only adds the column names to the layout… How can I resolve this issue?

It seems that the table you are trying to add to the ArcMap layout is coming from an Excel data source.

I tried to reproduce the issue here so I loaded an Excel table into ArcMap then added the table to the layout. I got the same problem you have. I just see the headers without any data in the table.

I got around the problem by exporting the Excel table into a File Geodatabase before adding it to the layout. Doing this solved the problem (though it's probably more like a workaround rather than a solution).

It looks like a bug. For your information, I am using ArcMap 10.4.1.
