The name of the measure is the text before the = sign in the measure field. Just rename it in the expression window at the bottom. I never use the name field.

If you want to duplicate it, copy all of the code from the measure to your clipboard, create a new measure, paste the code in, then rename the text before  the = sign before you press enter.

DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling

@Julier Not sure I understand. That's how it works. The name of the measure is the part left of the = sign. If you want to change it for a particular visual then put the measure in the field well for the visual and then rename the measure in the field well of the visual.
