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, it would be a great time saver! I went through the trouble of creating a group list, and now I have another table I need to do the same thing for a similar column and it's a very tedious task. It would help if I could just copy my old measure into the new table

Agreed .. I can cut and paste the text into a new measure and then slightly alter the formula (e.g. change Sales MTD to Sales YTD) , but then I have to reapply the formatting which is a bit annoying.

Definitely a time saver to be able to copy new measures/new columns across and then modify for the destination table

We are creating multiple reports/dashboard. This is a necessary functionality, and it would save us lots of time as currently I have to spend hours to copy the measures for each report..

Need option to copy all the measures and Column formulas into another table in case when we are in a situation to change the data source for Ex: Local Excel file to Sharepoint Exel file.
