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

    March 2022 Update: We are looking into this

    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!

    I cannot export to CSV... Data is too large... we need simple copy and paste...

    When are we going to get this one?!?!?

    This is super necessary, but not present currently. The 'export data' feature looks ok, but it only works if the person is directly logged into the power-bi service or desktop. If you are viewing the shared link, or embed, then you have no way to pull out the info :(

    Desperately need this, especially since the printing is so poor, this would help in so many different ways.

    Can we get an update please?

    The 'workaround' does not actually work when you are trying to copy things such as calculated measures, e.g. percentages

    we need this, the workaround is too much hazzle for final users, that sometimes doesn't even know what a .csv file is!

    Adding another vote for Copy/Paste support in visuals. This is a key feature for acceptance of Power BI in my organization.

    Copy/paste is a vital feature

    This would be a big benefit. Currently using screen print to copy visuals into power point slide decks.
