copy visual as image

Question

Hi all,&nbsp;i need some help when trying to copy a visual as image. I know that a recent patch made it available, and its showing for me as an option. But when I select the option (and get the confirmation it was copied to clipboard), and try to paste, all I get is a data-table (looks like the legend for the visual i want to copy) and not the visual itself. Right mouse button gives me 3 paste options (keep source formatting, merge formatting, keep text only; paste as image is not available)I've tried:&gt; updating to latest PBI DT version (2.80.5803.1061 64b)&gt; pasting in different target areas (outlook, word, powerpoint, no not-MS available though)&gt; following all steps described at&nbsp;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/power-bi-visualization-copy-paste, although the "copy icon" function remains invisible to me no matter what i doAnyone got any ideas?&nbsp;Kind regards,&nbsp;Ramon

Hi az38 , thanks for the quick reply. Despite trying to be very careful, the URL you posted is exactly the URL i wanted to paste. Apparently didnt pay enough attention when posting... Sorry for the inconvenience. Rest of the question remains the same:

If I compare the example given on that page with my own adventures, all I get when copy pasting is the data table. The graph is nowhere to be seen...

Any ideas?

what kind of visual do you try to copy?
If it is built-in visual is a reason to create an issue here&nbsp;https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
If not, you will need to contact with visual authors, I think.
And make sure, you are trying to copy visual from Service, not from Desktop version

Hi&nbsp;az38 ,&nbsp;im trying to copy the simplest of pie charts, created from an equally simple data set :). And yes, i published it online and im trying to access it from there, not from the DT&nbsp;R.

yes, I confirm. Maybe some authorization issue
