Allow people to select the data they can see and paste it into Excel without using fragile and mostly broken "web queries"

RE: Allow copy of tabular data

Agreed with BJones --- this is so basic. Hard to believe it isn't already in the tool.
But ... there it is. Please product team ... don't miss the BASICS !!
One of the reasons Tableau has done so well is that they got the basics right --- what a business user / analyst needs (not a BI-dev building a report ... although, frankly, they want this capability too!).

RE: Allow copy of tabular data

Holy Moly YES YES YES!!!!

Why is copy paste something that we even have to ask for?!?!

Should someone really have to export an entire table when all they want is to copy a quote from one line???

This is a truly stupendous FAIL that it was not available from day 0.
