It would nice to have the option to duplicate an existing measure (include formatting) and copy/paste the format of a measure (like Format Painter).

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

Yeah... I agree with all the comments. Why is it not possible to Copy a measure by just right-clicking and selecting Copy?At least have a right-click menu that would let us make a copy of a measure in the same table?All the above should be really simple to add, I guess. This is a pain that one has to click a measure, do CTRL+A to select the text and then CTRL-C to copy it. Then click "New Measure" and paste the text. That does not help productivity a single bit.Please, Microsoft, add the "Copy Measure" feature to Power BI.It's badly, badly, badly needed.Thank you.

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

This is fairly basic functionality that would vastly improve the measure creation workflow

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

Both of these items will not let me vote for it. I click the vote button and the count goes up to 1073, but as soon as the page refreshes the count goes back down to 1072.
And what's up with the merged page, the votes aren't represented correctly. If MS is only looking at that page, then it looks like there are only 54 people who want this feature.

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

This feature is badly needed since one can't even right-click the formula in DAX editor and Copy it. One has to instead (what a pain!) highlight the whole formula and press CTRL+C. Then right click the table and select "New Measure", then paste the copied formula. Why can't we have either a "Duplicate Measure" menu option or a mouse combination to duplicate a measure?
