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.

RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
I thought maybe that was what Export to / Import from a Power BI Template would do. But, to my disappointment, when I opened my "target" PBIX and tried to import my template, a 2nd instance of Power BI Desktop opened with just my template in it. What good is that?
This should absolutely be your highest priority as it is costing too much time to manually re-construct visuals and/or pages.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Because of this I cant divide the task in my team and finally merge all the tasks. It requires extra effort to merge changes by doing from scratch.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
This is definitely needed to reuse of visuals across multiple PBIXs
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Good idea!
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Yes, vero important!
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
How many votes does something have to get in order for it to be added to your list of future enhancements? This is such an instinctive feature, it's hard to believe you can't do this now. The way I handle it is to save my PBIX as a new name and re-use the pages or visuals I need. But really! No copy/paste????
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
very very very very useful. Especially when the model is the same for different pbix. or when you start doing something in one pbix and think that it would be better in another on . Its stupid to do it again from scratch.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
In addition to Copy/Paste of visuals & pages....it would be very useful to copy & paste tables between PBIX's especially when tables are created within Power BI (at the data view level), rather than externally via excel for example.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Even if the feature just copied over the chart parameters to the new .pbix file this would be a great feature. In this way, if the table that the chart depends on were missing you would get a error in the data fields. That would be fine, you could just redirect manually. But if the same table exists in both .pbix files you should be able to copy the chart over.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
It would be really helpful and will save a lot of time. Please provide this functionality as soon as possible.
