Use of data on dashboard element

If you have a table dashboard element, you can copy data from it's cells. When you click in a cell, it becomes editable (cell content is colored blue). When in edit mode, just press Ctrl+C (copy) to copy selected content somewhere else.

You can only copy data from table dashboard elements that don't have doubleclick option on them. Some table dashboard elements have an option that openes codebook (subjects, items) if you double click on one of the cells. Such tables are in read-only mode so data copying is not possible.
