The visual feature "export data" is nice... But there are times that we just need to copy one cell value(SKU for example) and try to find it in another report(excel, SAP, SQL Server, etc...)

Using export data to do that seems like using a cannon to shoot a fly...

A definite need to be added to BI. Love the software, cool tools, but this is a basic that needs to be included. Hard to sell to casual users without this functionality.

PowerBI guys are quite clever and doing the right things, not sure why a simply copy to clipboard is not in from the begining.

RE: copy values instead of export data

Holy Moly YES YES YES!!!!

Why is copy paste something that we even have to ask for?!?!

Should someone really have to export an entire table when all they want is to copy a quote from one line???

This is a truly stupendous FAIL that it was not available from day 0.
