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

It would be great if I could duplicate a measure when I'm making a very similar measure. Essentially the same thing as when we duplicate a query in query editor.

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

I need to be able to drag and drop measures from one query to another!

Need to copy metric from one report to another. Or pinup in another report.

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

Make it possible to copy measures in power pivot from one table to another and also to copy multiple measures in 1 table and also copy multiple measures from table to table

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

yes please, just a simple right click and a duplicate selection, same name and then a (2) or whatever after it, just like Duplicate in PowerQuery

Oh by the way, also give the same functionality in PowerPivot in Excel

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

This for moving measures would be awesome. And yes, the format copy would be excellent, especially when the process is long for each, especially when you've got a lot going on in the pbix and it's starting to lag.

RE: Duplicate Measure and Format Copy

Yes, this would be very useful. I have a date table with a series of calculated columns and then associated measures. I commonly want to copy this setup across to new report files.
