    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.

    This would be a very useful tool. I'm able to do this in QlikView, it makes it much easier to build new reports and harvest pervious work. Caution is key and if underlying data does not support the chart it just does not work. We remove or fix the chart if possible.

    Absolutely needed. Frequently have multiple people working on sub-pages of different reports. Let the data dependencies break if you have to - feels like a waste of time to recreate visuals you want replicated.

    This absolutely needs to be developed to make Power BI a robust development tool.

    Even if you could copy the fonts, colours and basic formatting components across pbix files would be a great start and give new desktops files a familiar look and feel. This is about productivity more than anything else
