Selecting Multiple Columns in Data View

[Anonymous]

I am trying to select multiple columns in the Data View section for a Power BI training using the ctrl button but it isn't working. I've also tried ctrl + shift and I've tried to look this up and restart my computer. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you

You can use edit query where you can select multiple columns by pressing Ctrl+columns

Thaknk you for your response! Apparently I was supposed to be using the Power Query Editor, which is where you can select multiple columns.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can once try uninstalling and re-installing the Power BI Application in this case.

Hi,

The Data view allows only one column to be selected at a time in a table and won't work for multiple column selection like we do in excel using Ctrl/Shift buttons.

We can select one column at a time and in order to copy contents - It either allows copying the selected column/the entire data table contents.
