    I know that we can now click on the menu of a visual and choose to export data. But what about exporting a screenshot of the visual to clipboard?

    I suggest adding the option "copy visual to clipboard" right next to the option to export data from the visual. Here is a screenshot of what I mean: http://postimg.org/image/b2vkq15q9/

    Also, perhaps allow users to copy the visual to clipboard by hitting CTRL-C?

    My users are in dire need of this functionality because they often copy and paste charts into Word documents and PowerPoint presentations, and not all of them are savvy enough with MS Paint and screenshot capture tools (e.g. Snagit, snip tool, etc).

    Tableau has this. That's why we use Tableau - which is a shame as it's 10x more expensive.

    Please add the copy paste function to PBI to ease the work within MS office

    Yes please add this! I now need to use Snipping Tool every time which takes a lot longer

    Please add this feature! Taking a screen capture doesn't have the same resolution

    RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard

    Can't you just use print screen? Or the screen capture tool?

    RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard

    I am very suprised that this function is not yet implemented. Should be a very basic feature

    I agree, this functionality is very necessary
