Copy Visual As Image
Good afternoon!
I don't have the option to copy a visual as an image to a published report.
I am signed with my PRO account and when I see the report I have shared, I choose a table that we have and follow the steps:
But when pasting in Excel it only shows me object information and a small transparent box (which I think this should show me the image):
I have Windows 10 and Excel 2007:
Are there any limitations with this version of Excel? Or that it's because of some permission settings or when you publish the report? Or any PC settings?
In advance, I appreciate the support you can give me
Atte.

Hi, IsraelGarcia
There are some applications with limited support for the image copying from Power BI Service, the content may not be displayed in its entirety.
About this, you can refer to Considerations and troubleshooting part in this official documentation.
You can paste the contents of the clipboard into a well-support application such as Word or Outlook, then copy and paste from it into Excel.
I've done the test with Excel 2016, the result looks like this:

I've already tried trying to paste it into PAINT and you really can't. We did a test on another PC with Excel 2013 and it didn't work either, the same result as with me.
A co-worker on your personal PC has Excel 2019 and in this version if you see the image correctly when you PASTE. But he ran a test by installing Excel 2007 on his own PC and stopped working for him. It seems that if you have to see the version of Excel
What's the proceeds? What options do we have to make it work?
Thank you very much for the support
