Often we need to expand on an idea from one report further and copy and paste visuals/pages from one PBIX to another. This would be a huge productivity and quality benefit.

We are excited to announce that this shipped in our November update of PBI Desktop: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-november-2018-feature-summary/#copyPaste For those asking, it will be included in the next version of Power BI Desktop for Report Server as well.

As my company's dashboards grow and evolve, my customers are constantly wanting to consolidate reports. This would make it immeasurably easier to do so!

For me, being able to make API calls using a user defined query would be awesome. I'm currently copying each API function into OneNote. When needed, I'm copying the text of the custom query into a blank query.

I suppose making a template PBIX with all custom queries would work just as well.

This would be huge. I'm constantly creating the same time slicer layouts and filter layouts and visuals in new files.
