Tableau allows a user to save a chart as PNG. Power BI doesn't. Ctr + C does not work. Is it Microsoft's intention NOT to allow users to add charts to their documents? I so want to prefer Power BI to Tableau, but the lack of this seemingly simple feature is a put off!

Even better, can you add the ability to add a chart (A chart) into the documents without having to buy a third party add-in?

RE: Copying charts into PowerPoint, Sway and Word

I see a lot of potential in embedded Power BI reports in Sway, but the only way to do it currently is to publish a public URL that is then embedded - I'd like an option similar to the SharePoint one that would allow organization-level sharing within Sway of a Power BI report without having to make it public first. I don't understand why I can have organization-level security within Power BI and within Sway, but the only way to link the two is by creating a public link to my dashboard/report and data.

Export or copy graphs to excel, word, power point or other document.

It would be extremely useful if users could combine other documents & objects with Dashboard reports. Word/PowerPoint documents could solve a number of issues. A Yammer feed could increase workgroup efficiency.

We do need this feature - it will make Sway a truly interactive experience.
