    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.

    We are excited to announce that this shipped in our November update of PBI Desktop: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-november-2018-feature-summary/#copyPaste For those asking, it will be included in the next version of Power BI Desktop for Report Server as well.

    RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's

    Would welcome the copy and paste PAGE function, but could live with the copy and paste VISUAL function between two unique pbix files. Would enable individual PowerBI users to create and share, whilst also being in their 'own' pbix file at the same time. Managing three different departments with their own dashboards is my driver for this.

    If copy/paste isn't feasible, then the ability to import a page from another PBIX would be a good workaround.

    I totally agree with this requirement. If we have this reuqirement, we can save lot of our development time. Eg I have two different pbix files, now I want to merger those two pbix files into one file, right now there is no such option. We need an option to copy and paste it in a other .pbix file like there is an option in excel workbook to copy or create the eixsting sheet to another excel workbook. Hope we can see this feature soon.

    This seems like basic functionality that's missing. I was really surprised when I couldn't copy a visual from one pbix to another, and now I have to RECREATE IT.

    We need this functionality to be able to support a true modular approach for our corporate report development.

    This idea would be extraordinarily helpful and increase productivity as it would allow multiple users to work on different pages of .pbix files.

    It's amazing how many frequently used features Power BI lacks

    RE: Allow copy and paste between different PBIX's

    Since we're going to be changing our data sources for our visualizations from our data warehouse to a tabular model, we're going to have to re-create everything. Having the ability to copy & paste from one pbix file to another would make this already tedious & time-consuming task a little easier.
