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
In that case, you can copy/paste a set of visuals into another workbook.
For example, this feature is avaliable in QlikView and this, grown up our produtivity.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
As I'm sure you are aware, this feature is available in other visualization tools. In that case, you can copy/paste a set of visuals into another workbook. The data source connection comes with the visuals. This is important for collaboration with a team and organization.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Minimally copy & paste between two PBIX files connecting to same data source should be enabled. This is very much critical for collaboration to meet the deadlines.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Could we please get an update as to this request's status? It should be on the user to ensure that the same data model is used between the .pbix files that a visual is being copied between. It should be as simple as ensuring the table and field names match. If not, show an error on the visual.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
It's very important this.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
Allowing copy report from one pbix to another is highly needed
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
We are trying to develop a analytical product utilising PowerBI. However it is going to become cumbersome to roll out updates if we can't moves pages between files.
It also puts a practical limit on a team of people working on a report if you can't consolidate the team's work into a single Report file.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
'Hi everyone, not sure if this has been discussed already, but here is an effective workaround:
- Publish the reports you want to move visualizations between to the Power BI Service
- Edit the report you want to copy visuals from, select and CTRL+C
- Within the same tab (I was using Chrome), navigate to the report you want to paste to, edit the report and CTRL+V
- Then save and download the PBIX file!
In my experience, it has to happen in the same tab in Chrome. I did not try IE or Edge. It took me 5 minutes to recreate the work it would've taken an hour to do manually.
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
If not Data, only the control properties are copied over, even that would be a huge add on!
RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's
The ability to copy/paste text boxes, images, and other shapes would be a nice start. No data dependencies with these items.
