In the field well I would find it very useful to be able to right click over an existing measure and copy/duplicate measure in order to quickly create a modified version of the original measure.

Yes please. We spend a lot of time creating measures and most of them we need to replicate for other datasets. So pleeeeeeeze.. can we have this functionality. Thanks a l ot.

Definitely support to add this idea, it will be a great time saver especially when coming to complicated DAX measures.

Yep. Definitely a winning idea. I just came across this searching for an option for the same issue. You can copy other elements of Power BI so why not measures?

This would be a GREAT feature! The Format is crucial. It would save me lots of repetitive work and time.

Yes please. Using table in DOCX to store measures. Works but tedious.

RE: Copy / Duplicate a measures from the field well

I had to create around 15 measures with same format (decimals, show as percent values). It would be great if i format one measure and copy that format to all the measures. Or when we create a new measure, duplicate formatted measure and change the formula accordingly with all old formatting. I would like to see this in near releases.
