This is a simply missing and much needed feature. The current "Copy" option would copy the entire column, so really it should be properly named "Copy column" alongside the existing "Copy table". Please add a new option named "Copy" or "Copy single value" which does exactly what the name suggests, and it will be a life saver especially in copying out long/complex text strings - imagine those hexidecimal ids!
Other workarounds don't work well for the purpose. For example Power Query ("Transform data") would allow copying single values, but it only shows a preview of 1000 rows. Also filtering isn't as convenient as in Power BI Desktop's "Table view". Another workaround would be to use the DAX query view, but then how can you filter to the specific row if you don't have the filter value copied first?
Such a simple and small desire! Sometimes I think that they does not use the tool they provide! I just want to copy the value from the cell I´ve selected on a table! Jesus!
