Advocate ICopying a data table? I see the copy function when I right click on a table but how do I paste this?
Does anyone know definitively whether this is possible?
If it isn't possible to paste a table, then what is the point of the "Copy Table" menu item? Is this a feature that was accidentally left unfinished?
UPDATE: Ok, the purpose of that is so you can paste into an external app like Excel.
The only way to reuse a DAX based table, and preserve post creation configuration like setting of sort columns, formats, etc is to use the PBIX file as a starting point for all new projects. If you've started without doing that, you can create a new table in the destination and paste in the DAX, but you'll have to redo those customization tasks.

Advocate IIseems to me that there is kind of bug when i copy function from one pbix to another pbix : when i did it once - it works correctly, on the second and third times, it copy both the current copy function and the prvevious !!! (create a second copy of the previous which mark with the suffix (2) ) i tried it few times, i tried to close the pbix, i tried to clean the cache (in the options) and still same issue !
anothe issue is that i prevent deleted the sconds copies with msg that it can't be deleted be because these previous copies are related to the new copies tables (there is no relation between them at all !!)
