Tableau allows a user to save a chart as PNG. Power BI doesn't. Ctr + C does not work. Is it Microsoft's intention NOT to allow users to add charts to their documents? I so want to prefer Power BI to Tableau, but the lack of this seemingly simple feature is a put off!

Even better, can you add the ability to add a chart (A chart) into the documents without having to buy a third party add-in?

Sway should have something like this.

This is a must have feature as I see a good potential for sway to be a promising/future of dynamic presentation delivery or Digital Signage platform by connecting to various sources just like Power BI does.

This is so obvious I cant understand why it's not already a feature.

A great option to allow better paginated reports. Please allow this.

Definitely needed. it would allow for internal reporting to be done with accurate data from Power BI and context in Sway.
Cut and paste is very last century

This would be a very interesting solution for internal communications including Power BI Stats.
