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.

Great that this is started ... Thanks a lot. As we just started a bigger project for one of our clients: Any chance that this new feature will be published within 2018?

RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's

Work around- Create a PBIX with all the standard items you want on it. This is what I am doing in the meantime, there's many ways around not being able to copy and paste from one report to the other. Although I agree this would be an appreciated update especially on the PBIX RS version not just the PR version.

RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's

My team is struggling with this issue - as we have numerous text boxes and other non-data related items in our reports (lines, boxes etc) that we want to use as a standard across all reports. Without being able to copy and paste this is taking us hours so we look forward to this new capability!!

RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's

i have multiple instances of pbix (different version of data with same structure) and really would like to be able to copy/past/switch data source on the fly, that will be such a good news that they have someone working on it!

Will this include both visuals, and entire Pages? I would really love the ability to copy an entire report page as well.
