It will be very useful if we could easily copy text displayed on tables cells, and slicers to clipboard to reusing them on other applications or in formulas.

You can copy from table and matrix visuals by right-clicking and choosing Copy Values. Thanks for supporting this idea!

RE: Copy text from slicers and tables

Please don't mark things completed when they're not. When I right click the matrix visual, I'm only given the option to "copy value," there is no "copy values." So, the user would have to copy each cell and paste somewhere else, which is no faster than typing it in yourself.

RE: Copy text from slicers and tables

I am unable to copy the content like it was intended to, may be I am doing it wrong but when I right click on a matrix visual (for example)... it does ask me to few options (copy value, copy selection, copy visual)

1. copy value = just copies that cell data and I am able to paste that in Excel cell
2. copy selection = just copies the first column header, and the current row value, but does not copy all the values of the entire table
3. copy visual = does not copy anything as I was unable to paste anything in Excel

Common Excel this is a real issue rather than NLP!

Function ctrl+C and ctrl+V dosn't work in PowerBI. In my opinion it's very useful option which should be added to PowerBI.
At this moment, we are not able to copy long numbers from PowerBi, it's waste of time for us.

RE: Copy text from slicers and tables

This needs to work, even saying that it is a feature is weird. It's like making a program but not writing in saving. Sounds like the program developers and the product designers aren't on the same page. It should just be able to do this function and claiming it as a feature is just weird...
