There is a previous idea that is marked completed, but it is definitely not complete. https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=8ea93e7e-1c53-404a-b149-c21fcc06e398

It is possible to copy a table or a column in the data view, but it is *not possible* to copy a *single cell value*. The use case is that you filter the data view to find a record, then you need to switch tables and/or copy a value for use somewhere else in the debugging process. Currently if you right click on a value and select "Copy", it copies the entire column, not the single value. Coping the entire column is still useful, so please don't remove that.

RE: Copy Single Value from Data View

This is extra frustrating because Tables and Matrixes give the full and reasonable set of options - Copy Value vs. Selection vs. Visual. Just need the analgous functionality in the Data View - Copy Value vs. Column vs. Table
