Copy/paste the data behind the visual in Power BI to other applications

I can copy the visual either as image or data table and paste it in other applications.

I agree with a ton of the comments, so I'll just repeat what others have said so you that you know that I actually think this is important. It is very frustrating to have to export all the data behind a visual just to get one or two data points--this really hurts adoption because my users get frustrated and eventually revert back to older less amazing tools like excel bc they are frustrated and more familiar with them but I'd even be fine if "copy" just pulled all the data CURRENTLY displayed in the visual....for example if i have a that shows contains 1,000 rows in total (if i actually scrolled to the bottom) but only 10 rows can be seen in the visual without scrolling then I'd be okay if copy pulled those 10 rows and ignored the other 990. the current solution of exporting all the visuals data then saving it as a CSV file then opening that CSV file so that I can simply "copy" a single value in order to use it in a word doc or ppt or internet browser is not worth the effort

I agree with Scott Williams. There is no ellipses menu on a table visualization when it's viewed within a dashboard so cannot export data directly from a dashboard. The user needs to open the report but when s/he does so, all filters get lost.

Users should be able to select and copy the text in all of the Visualizations. Exporting the data to CSV is too much friction and will reduce adoption for many scenarios.

I use Q&A all the time for simple data search (e.g. phone number or ID of a certain user) and not being able to quickly copy the results is really frustrating. I don't want to be exporting the whole visual to CSV, when I only need to copy a value from one cell. This is a big drawback that can act as a deal-breaker for many users/companies.

Yes, the table visuals specifically - would be extremely easy to get the data out by copy/paste vs exporting to csv. Often there is only one field needed.

At our company we really need this feature! It is super important for our employess to be able to quickly copy/paste the data of a visualization. ETA?! 🙂

Please make it possible to copy and paste the value of a card visualization. It is so important! 🙂

A simple copy and paste from at least the table visualization should be prioritized; it is jarring for a user to not be able to do so.

I also need to copy and paste the value of a card visualization. Would it be possible to let us know from when is this expected to be available?
