[Tex/LaTex] Text placed under figure instead of above

Question

I have a figure that contains two subfigures side by side:

Foobar

\begin{figure*}[h!]
    \centering
    \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[height=5.0in]{ressourcen/market_category}
        \caption{Market category cocktails}
    \end{subfigure}%
    ~ 
    \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[height=5.0in]{ressourcen/market_category_2}
        \caption{Market category lemonade}
    \end{subfigure}
    \caption{Market dashboard}
\end{figure*}

However the text foobar is placed under the figure instead of above it. I want to control the placement with h! but it has no effect. Any ideas how to have the text above the figure?

Answer 1

• See Manually Place a Figure in LaTeX (here: End of Chapter/Section) for details.
• I use figure instead of figure*.

Text before.

\begin{figure}[H]
    \centering
    \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[height=2.0in]{example-image}
        \caption{Market category cocktails}
    \end{subfigure}%
    ~ 
    \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[height=2.0in]{example-image}
        \caption{Market category lemonade}
    \end{subfigure}
    \caption{Market dashboard}
\end{figure}

Text after.
