This version of PowerBI Desktop seems to have issue with format painter. I can not copy format to another viz. Anyone experienceing same issue or have solution for me?
Thanks
Hi @Pujan
My version:
The Format Painter is valid for visualization with the same formatting options. I did the following tests for your referrence:
Copying the formatting of a table visualization to another Table visualization via Format painter.
Copying the formatting of a Stacked column Chart visualization to Scatter chart visualization via Format painter.
Copying the formatting of a Stacked column Chart to a table visualization via Format painter.
The attempt failed. Since the Table visualization does not have x and y axis, the x and yaxis formatting would be dropped.

If you still have questions, please feel free to let me know.
