PBI won't paste a visual to another .PBIX (with same shared dataset)

[JulienZH]

Hi,

As mentioned ... CTRL C + CTRL V of a visual from one PBIX to another PBIX using the same shared dataset is doing nothing.

CTRL V in the same PBIX does work.

Any hint?

Edit: After fighting a bit more, I realize that it works about 20% of the time, which is VERY annoying.

Hi @JulienZH ,

I completely agree with you that most of the times Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V doesn't work in case of separate PBIX files.

You can try using the Copy and Paste options from Home ribbon, it works completely fine.

Hope this Helps!

Please accept the solution if this answers your query.

Thanks,

Avantika

I found out a solution to "unlock" the CTRL+V.

1 - CTRL - C a visual (outside or inside the dashboard, doesn't matter)

2 - In case CTRL + V doesn't work, add a blank visual

3 - CTRL + V works

4 - Delete the blank visual

That's the kind of bug I'd like a fix for ...
