Copy a visual as an image to your clipboard- Missing in my Power BI

[kolturra]

Hi,

Copy a visual as an image to your clipboard is not working in my desktop.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-copy-paste

Please help me.

Thanks,

Well, first of all, that only works if you're on a dashboard in the service. So publish the report, pin an icon to a dashboard, go to that pane, click the ellipsis, copy visual to clipboard, just like article states.

In Desktop, you can copy and paste a visual between pages in a report or from one report to another. If you want to copy the visual into something like Word, Alt-PrtScn works or SnagIt, the built-in Windows clipping tool, plenty of options.

Hi @kolturra ,

From the document, there are some limitations.

• For custom visuals
  • Visuals with applied themes and colors
  • Tile scaling when pasting
  • Custom visuals with animations
• Copying constraints
  • Cannot copy a freshly pinned dashboard tile
  • Cannot redirect users to content with Odata filters and sticky states such as personal bookmarks
• Applications with limited support for pasting HTML-formatted content from the clipboard may not render everything that was copied from the visual

You can check from the above points。

@kolturra  The documentation suggests a Pro or Premium license is required for this.

I think that feature is only available on published reports on the service as this point.  Hopefully coming to Desktop soon.  For now, still stuck with Snip & Sketch.
