Would be great to permit copy/paste filters from one tab to another without needing to put filter on whole report or editing filter again...

This would be so useful. Initial scope made sense to use Report level filters. Further additions have now meant that I need to replace Report Level filters with Page level filters. Not looking forward to it.

RE: To permit copy/paste filters from one tab to another on reports

Report level filter sometimes affects individual tabs so moving complex page level filters over to another tab would be super helpful. Microsoft is you for real not adding this? People are definitely doing it the harder way and thinking that method is normal practice.

this would be very helpful. Maybe format painter could do it

Wow, posted more than 2 years ago and still wasnt added?
Come one guys this and drag/drop filters across the report (transfer from report to page or even between visuals) should be a no-brainer...

RE: To permit copy/paste filters from one tab to another on reports

In my case, we want a filter to apply to 6 of 7 pages. Thus a report level filter is not appropriate, but it is time consuming to apply the filter to each page individually. Ability to
copy/paste would be great!

I like this idea. I have report pages with filters by users in a department. This would make it easier to compare the departments on different pages.

Has this feature been added? This would be a great feature. I currently can not figure out how to do this; so I assume it has not been implemented.

RE: To permit copy/paste filters from one tab to another on reports

For example, this is necessary when: I've made a complex page level filter on one tab and want to copy one visual from that tab to another at a later time. Today, I have to rebuild the filter. I'd like to simply copy the page level filter and apply it to the visual at its new home tab.
