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.

RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
I vote Yes!
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Really Microsoft? Qlikview and Tableau have this functionality for a long time now. It shouldn't be difficult if you develop correctly...
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
This would be valuable in our business. Merging top-level aspects of multiple pbix files would allow a master/parent pbix but without the fine detail/complexity within its children. For example, an engineering dept, finance dept, purchasing dept could create their own complex pbix but a director could have a parent pbix for top-level KPI’s. I imaging this as analogous to the way Project handles thus equivalent situation.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Copy and pasting between different pbix files would be very helpful. Currently we have to recreate everything in the same pbix.
Also sharing differend datasource across pbix would be helpfull for more single consolidated reports when base data models exists already in other reports
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
If the Tabular Editor - which is developed by a single person - can easily do this, then I'm sure it's not that hard for the Power BI team to implement!
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
How about to make it possible for "Format Painter" first? Copy&paste visual from one file to another doesn't make very much sense unless they share same data model (with measures used in that visual) Right?
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Very critical ant a true efficiency gain. I am with others in that we can fix the errors if any exist.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Really need this to be put in priority list
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
I would hope its possible to allow copy and paste, and to raise an error if the underlying data source is incompatible, and then allow the user to fix if there is an error?
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Please this is important. What is the status, very long time ago since admin comments?
