I know that we can now click on the menu of a visual and choose to export data. But what about exporting a screenshot of the visual to clipboard?
I suggest adding the option "copy visual to clipboard" right next to the option to export data from the visual. Here is a screenshot of what I mean: http://postimg.org/image/b2vkq15q9/
Also, perhaps allow users to copy the visual to clipboard by hitting CTRL-C?
My users are in dire need of this functionality because they often copy and paste charts into Word documents and PowerPoint presentations, and not all of them are savvy enough with MS Paint and screenshot capture tools (e.g. Snagit, snip tool, etc).

This was shipped in April - you can now copy a visual as an image in the Service: Announcing: Copy a Visual as an Image | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
Copy, pasting visual to a report or presentation graphic should be a basic feature of any BI tool.
Recommend adding this basic funtion to all versions of Power BI from Desktop on up.
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
Using screenshot tools to transfer a sophisticated visual in a word / powerpoint report? Seriously Microsoft? How can it be that such a must have functionality is not yet installed? It just stress the point that MS had no vision how to go forward with their tools and what customer they serve

RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
The clunky workaround of making a screen print (printscreen feature, or snip) results in very low resolution images in my reports (e.g. MS Word), and I wind up with very fuzzy images if I try to enlarge them.
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
This is a must-have.
1) I need to be able to do this so that I can archive the status of my KPI's monthly. AND
2) I have senior managers that refuse to install / learn Power BI until they know what it is doing for them.
My interim solution has to be a copy and page into an e-mail.

I support this
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
it would even work as an API, similarly to the print option.
i.e. either copy the currently selected visualisation OR if no selection, copy the current report page
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
Very much needed.
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
This is an absolute must have
RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard
Please, add this feature!
