Introduction

The September 2018 Update of Power BI has finally brought to users, the functionality to copy data from a table or matrix in a report.

This has been a much-requested feature as one often finds themselves needing to copy a value or columns of data from a report with no option to do so.

Steps:

Now, if you want to copy a value, several columns  in a table or matrix you can do so by following the steps below:

  1. Copying one value :  Select the value->right-click on the selection -> select ‘Copy Value’ -> An unformatted value will now be added to your clipboard.
  2. Copying several columns of data: Select all the data in the required columns->right click on the selection and select ‘Copy Selection’.-> The required data and column headers are copied to the clipboard.
  3. In a Matrix, when you select one value->right-click-> ‘Copy Selection’-> All measures required are copied along with the value ( as shown in the screenshot below).

Conclusion:

This is a long-awaited feature of Power BI and will definitely enhance user experience while navigating and using Power BI reports.
