Hello,
PBI desktop has three different "views" that can be selected from the left - Report, Data, and Model.
In the Report view, I'm able to create a table or matrix visualization and copy individual cell values.
When I view the table in the Data view there are two "copy" options when you right-click a cell - Copy and Copy table.
When I click Copy I end up copying the entire column and Copy table copies the entire table.
Is it intentional to not have the ability to copy single cells in the Data view?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @MorePowerBI ;

@MorePowerBI yes this is how it works, not to copy the cell but the entire column or entire table. To copy a value for a cell, you need to first filter and then use the copy function.

This approach doesn't work. It will copy the values displayed in the entire column
@parry2k, how do you filter to a specific value on the drop down menu if you can't copy and paste the value from the table?
for sure! This is absolutely needed for data cleansing and other reasons!
