Position of visuals when copy paste
Hello community, is there any way to paste a visual at the same position of the first one ?
When you copy paste, the new visual change automatically position in the dashboard. When you have a lot of visuals that you paste, it's very long to reposition all of them.
Thanks
Perhaps if you put them into a group then copy and paste the group?

Pldoyon1in my experiennce, when you copy a visual from page1 to page2, it gets pasted in the same position in page2 as it was in page1.
If you copy a visual from page1 and paste in page1, the position changes. I had this issue and I had to change the coordinates in General for viz2 as in viz1.

Thanks for your quick response. Yes, that's right, from page 1 to 2, it's the same position, but in my case, I paste in the same page many visuals.

Pldoyon1I know the exact issue yopu are going through. Cause I went through the same pain. The only way to reposition was to adjust the X.Y.Height,Width from General. And this is a manual procedure and having to repeat that for many visuals it is a nightmare.
I wish Power BI had illustrator like cpabilties to fix coordinates. Keep this thread open and someone with better tricks might help you and me.

Copy and Paste all visuals you need > Select All visuals via Selection Panel > General (Properties) input Position location for all selected. This way you do all visuals in one shot.
