-Power BI- "Copy table" in Table view doesn't work
I used "Copy table" in Table view, and tried to paste on Excel, but the table wasn't copied.
It was working until yesterday (March 26th)
Does anyone know solutions?

Hi everyone,
A new version of PBI Desktop was released on March 29th, and the copy table feature was available

Same issue, can not copy tables nor output from DAX Query View.
It is becoming difficult to cross-check numbers & build dashboards. Business process being hampered.

Same here. I tried multiple copying methods in table view and none of them work (even copying columns ony by one). Copying stuff from data transform still works but thats 1000 rows at most.

Same issue for me. I can see it is a new release as the 'Dax Query View' has appeared under model view.
My workaround, not ideal, built a table visualisation then Export Data.
Hope MS get this fixed ASAP - I see on another thread that it is a reported issue to MS

Good idea re. creating a table visualisation then exporting. This worked for me. Only issue is I have a table with 100k plus rows and export limits to 30k at a time so have to break it into 4 separate parts 😞
I also found another workaround. Again not ideal and only temporary but I was able to re-install a previous version of PBI desktop (December 2023) and I am able to copy as before.

Same issue here. Worked yesterday, I have not updated as far as I can tell but its not not working. I can't copy a table or copy a single value. Glad to see its not just me I guess

Hi all,
This issue has been confirmed as a known issue internally. Please be patient to wait for fixing. If there is any news, I will update it here.
If you need to export data in case of emergency, just like S8Martin post that you can create a table visual and export the data.
Or consider to download the previous versions of PowerBI desktop, here is the link:

Thank you for informing that, and for the link. I'll download previous version.

Workaround:
1. Download the portable version of Dax studio
2. Run 'evaluate (table)'
3. Export to csv.

Is there an expected timeline as to how long it will be until this is fixed? This is a causing a rather large disruption in my day to day.

Is this issue resolved?

Recreating the table in a table visual, publishing it and exporting from there is working.
