Copy text from Text box on published reports

Is there a way to make possible for end users to copy and paste text out of text boxes on published reports?

    Hi rediano ,

    You can't copy paste only the text but you can copy paste the entire visual(in your case text box) from one page to another in Power BI service(you need edit permissions in the service for achieving this).

     

    If this helps you then please mark it as a solution and hit the thumbs up. Thanks.

    Hi rediano,

    posting this here to help others with the same issue. To my knowledge copy-pasting from a text box is not possible in the PBI service. Anway the following is a workaround: You may can use a table and insert a meassure to display the text you want. [Header color of the table needs to set to the same as background color etc ] (In my case the content inside the textbox was a concatenation from different rows, using a table now allows the user to copy paste).
