    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!

    This would be very important; every other BI tool I've used allows some method to copy/paste or export data from a particular report

    Hi Team :)
    If this feature is implemented, I'd like to see some control on the Dashboard owner side, to allow/disallow the feature, as well as be able to track who has downloaded the data, and what data they have downloaded, and when. This is useful as our dashboards are Microsoft confidential.
    Thank you :)

    I'd love to have this available - we're using Power BI to present some of the customer feedback that we've gathered for our site, and having the copy/paste (as text, not as image) feature is essential to making the report useful.

    Excel allows you to copy data in a table, if power BI can at least allow copy from a table directly, it will be great.

    It would be great if I could copy a report page created on PowerBI.com back to the desktop report the data originated from.

    SQL customers need to copy, transform, edit, execute suspect SQL statements from their audit log using Power BI for investigating a security issue.
