I know that we can now click on the menu of a visual and choose to export data. But what about exporting a screenshot of the visual to clipboard?

I suggest adding the option "copy visual to clipboard" right next to the option to export data from the visual. Here is a screenshot of what I mean: http://postimg.org/image/b2vkq15q9/

Also, perhaps allow users to copy the visual to clipboard by hitting CTRL-C?

My users are in dire need of this functionality because they often copy and paste charts into Word documents and PowerPoint presentations, and not all of them are savvy enough with MS Paint and screenshot capture tools (e.g. Snagit, snip tool, etc).

This was shipped in April - you can now copy a visual as an image in the Service: Announcing: Copy a Visual as an Image | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard

I am very suprised that this function is not yet implemented. Should be a very basic feature

RE: copy screenshot of visual to clipboard

this is a basic and must requirement, without the ability to copy visual to word doc or ppt the Power BI usage is very limited. I wonder why Microsoft is still not moving ahead to include this feature
