    I can copy the visual either as image or data table and paste it in other applications.

    We recently released the ability to export data from tiles and visuals to a CSV file. This may work for y'all as a workaround until we add the ability to directly copy and paste the visual or data. You can read more about it here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powerbi/archive/2016/01/06/power-bi-service-update-0106.aspx#exportTile. Be sure to let us know what you think about the feature!

    We need the ability to copy the text data and be able to send out to other team members.

    As long as you would like to embed a visualization you can use snipping tool for that. This feature should really be about exporting dashboard contents to excel.

    Our users have also requested the ability to copy and paste out of power bi. The grids being able to be copied into Excel would be awesome.

    This is the most requested feature I am asked to demonstrate whenever I review BI visualisation products. The ability to export tables (and matrices when they are implemented) directly to excel so they can be incorporated into other tools by clients who do not always get all their data directly from my company.

    It will be very useful to be able to link to data in queries within a .PBIX file from Microsoft Access.

    This is important if we are using Power BI for subsequent executive consumption visuals - the format is usually restricted and copying the visual would work a lot better.

    The work should support copying one or more cells into the clipboard.
