Copying Visuals from 1 report to Another

[jcastr02]

I have various reports (created all in POWER BI service) and I'd like to copy visuals from one report to another, they are all also tied to same data source and related.  I've tried to use the CTRL+C  and CTRL+V, but have been unsuccessful.  In some of the reports I have to display the same page, and I end up having to recreate the page from scratch.  Any way around this?

Do they have to be in reports or can you just pin them to a dashboard? I believe this was the intended use of the Dashboard function.

@Anonymous has to be in reports

Hi @jcastr02 ,

As tested, "Copy" feature can only be used in the same report file.

We can't use the copy feature even if two report files are based on the same dataset.

In other words, in the current version, we can't copy and paste visual objects between different report files.

Hi @jcastr02 ,

Edit the report in Power BI Service, then, right-click the visual:

hello @v-lionel-msft I've done this, but when I try to paste into another report, it won't paste?

hi @jcastr02,

as far as i know copy and paste is only supported in power Bi Desktop.

For reference https://powerbi.microsoft.com/de-de/blog/power-bi-desktop-november-2018-feature-summary/#copyPaste

You can Download your Reports from the Service then you are able to copy and paste.
