Copying characters to my computers clipboard rather than drilling.

GordonCox123 · February 8

I wanted to ask if anyone has any work arounds for copy a number from a data set table into my computers clip board. Currently when i click on the number it drills down further and I was hoping there was a way to copy onto my computer clipboard with out drilling and manipulating my card view. It immediately filters when I click on a character that I am attempting to highlight and copy. Work arounds are welcome as suggestions out side of my writing down the numbers and reentering.

I apologies in advance if this request is confusing or unclear.

You can prevent the drill downs. In your upper right hand click on 'Card Options', then go to 'Edit Drill Path' and click on 'Prevent drilling to final data grid view'.

You can try using your browser's developer tools to inspect the element containing the number and manually copy it from there. This method requires some familiarity with HTML and JavaScript.

Or export and then copy.

Feels like this may not be workflows related, but happy to take a stab at helping.

If you use the table type "HTML Table" then it will let you highlight text. The issue with the other tables are it's essentially an image….

With Windows 11, the Snipping Tool has a copy text feature.
