Copying a data table? I see the copy function when I right click on a table but how do I paste this?

‎06-15-2016 09:30 AM

I am looking to copy a data table but can't seem to find out where and how I can paste this?

 

I've created a datedimension table but would like to repurpose it.

Does anyone know definitively whether this is possible?

 

If it isn't possible to paste a table, then what is the point of the "Copy Table" menu item?  Is this a feature that was accidentally left  unfinished?

 

UPDATE:  Ok, the purpose of that is so you can paste into an external app like Excel.

 

The only way to reuse a DAX based table, and preserve post creation configuration like setting of sort columns, formats, etc is to use the PBIX file as a starting point for all new projects.  If you've started without doing that, you can create a new table in the destination and paste in the DAX, but you'll have to redo those customization tasks.
