**HELP** USER END - Make data selectable and copying by using CTRL-C

[Anonymous]

Hi Guys,

I'm working with my internal PowerBi team and I'm having a hard time getting them to do the following. So I was hoping someone could help me put it into PowerBi terms so that I can advise them how to do it (if possible).   I'm the END USER so I only have access to the POWERBI report that was published by my internal team.  I wanted to see if there any way to make data selectable and copy easily versus having to "right click" the data then clicking on copy then copy value.   My team that will be working off the PowerBi report need the ability to copy data quickly of a single cell.  (almost like excel were you can easily copy a vaule from a single cell quickly)   Can someone link me to the solution because I'm having trouble locating a guide to foward to my PowerBi team

@Anonymous I don't think you have the option to copy the cell quickly and the only way is what you described in your post. Maybe put this as an idea on the ideas forum.

OK if there no way to make it selectable.  Is there a way to make the data all TEXT?  For example right now when I select a single data it highlight the entire row.   Is there a way to make the data on PowerBi report so it doesnt select the data entire row.  Where I can double click the text and it CTRL-C.    I'm just trying to think outside the box.  See below and any suggestions?

Example:

When you hover over the table, there should be a ... in the top right corner. You can click this and export the data into excel if that's what you need! If you do not see the ... - it was disabled by the developer but the default is to show it!

I do have the ability to export to excel but I was hoping that this was something we could do within PowerBi.   I'm trying to keep it simple for additional users that are not tech savvy.
