    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

    There is an opportunity to copy Queries in PowerQuery between 2 data models. This feature to bulk or single copy of measures between 2 open PowerBI files is badly required!!!
    pls add it!

    RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

    I'd say it's more than "nice" - it's required. I'm replicating 15 measures from one pbix file into another. Retyping them is making me a little crazy.

    Absolutely ridiculous that as a new user in the 1st week of use I have found so many blockers to the ease of use with PowerBi. Create a new report using already defined datasets from 2 existing reports? Can't copy them. Have to copy the queries. Ok can do that. Copy all the measures and tables? Nope. How is this not a feature????? Madness.

    RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

    Please do this, I have more than 50 measures and I need the same measures in another table. I have to change all the parameters manually
