Allowing users to copy data and disable filters

Dear all,

 

I have almost finished a report for my customer on PowerBi Desktop and it will be published on PowerBi service by their client. This is the first time we do it like this and I do not have experience with PowerBI, so we are running into two issues.

In the published report, I would like the users to be able to:

Copy visuals and tables and paste them into word/PowerPoint and or Excel for their further usage

Not being able to modify/see any filters apart from those I set and the sliders provided in the report.

 

I thought I set those in the report settings, but it does not appear to work in our first test. Any suggestion on what I should set where or this something that should be set in PowerBi Services when the report is being published?

 

Thanks in advance

That is a design fallacy. Rethink what you are trying to achieve, and if it is good for your report users.
