When connectin to a live dataset (SSAS or Power Bi dataset) it is possible to consume existing measures and to create new measures, which is great. But there is no option to see the formula behind an existing measure to look if it is correct, of it fits demand, to copy an existing measure and make modifications.
Please add a (read only) formula view to existing measures in live connections.

Not being able to see the DAX doesn't yield itself well to report developers who aren't model developers. Hard to understand the calculation or trust it if you can't see it's underlying definition. Even as a developer who supports the model creation and the development of the report, switching back between the report and the dataset slows down report development time.

This is very much needed.
