Copy Data to Clipboard should be a simple right-click context menu capability --- as it has been in Tableau for years. Often, user wants data being displayed without going through export to CSV and import into Excel. Just simple copy-paste of data out of visual to clipboard to ... whatever intended ... is extremely useful.

The copy value option exists today for table and matrix visuals.

RE: copy data to clipboard

Copy data is not available for columns or selected columns in the table. Either way is we can copy just the table it would be great instead of exporting excel files. Selecting hundreds of rows from table or matrix is impossible. Please provide columns or table copy to clipboard feature clipboards as hundreds of users will not download their filter data in excel.

In order to bring the information in the labels to a presentation or an email, it would be fabulous to be able to copy the values of metrics.

This capability would be very useful for ad-hoc data researches where you can utilize full power of PowerQuery + data modeling for smaller sets of complex data.

RE: copy data to clipboard

This would be reallr helpful. Right click on a cell of a table visual and have "Copy" option that copies value to clipboard.
