Hi  @Srehman

This isn't a bug. The bar remains grey until you add a new measure or calculated column, or until you select the measure/calculated column. In all other cases, there's nothing to show, so the bar stays grey.

Yes,It could be true. I encountered this problem when attempting to copy a table from the table view. Although it allows me to copy, when I paste it into Excel, no data is pasted. In my previous Power BI version, I could easily copy and paste tables from the table view by right-clicking. Could you please assist with this?

Yep, this is a bug, that has already been reported :
https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Issues/March-2024-Breaks-Copy-Table/idi-p/3792111

The teem is on it.

Until the issue is solved you can copy the table from PQ.

I tested it on my machine and it's working ok.

Hi all,

First of all, many thanks to @Ritaf1983  for your very quick and effective replies.

 

This copy table feature in Power BI Desktop has been confirmed as a known issue internally. Please be patient to wait for fixing. If there is any news, I will update it here.

 

There is a different workaround that you could try to use: 

Try to use DAX Query View:

Hi @Srehman ,

Please download the latest version of Power BI Desktop, the "Copy table" feature works well.
