RE: copy/paste fields

I will lend my voice to PowerBI changes should have the ability to process a list of unique codes. It’s a primary way many of us look at data. We ask questions like: how are these five videos doing? What about this content set of 40 articles? What about these 16 articles on printing across 7 apps? Etc. We track the GUID and Video ID when we create things, we should be able to cut and paste them in (versus trying 20+ years of metadata that is cumbersome to update and syntax has been lazy over the decades, in the case of Office content).

I was able to process a list of unique codes, golly, 18 years ago at Amazon where unique product codes (ASINs) were thrown about on various lists, articles, storefronts. But if I had a list of ASINs, I could quickly find data and then could track it. In seconds. To me, it would be something PowerBI users to use a lot.

Example, search for assets:

RE: copy/paste fields

Yes, please! Having end customers who are annoyed by "Right Click >> Copy >> Copy Value". Enabling keyboard shortcuts especially in tables would speed up their work and make them more productive.

RE: copy/paste fields

Copying a field from a Power BI report requires Export data to be performed. Would really appreciate the ability to at-least Select text in a table, so it could be copied to Clipboard easily.
