    Hello Tom_Y 

    When you duplicate a query, Power BI shows an error like:

    “Key already exists”

    Then it freezes or crashes, forcing you to exit Power Query without saving changes.

     

    Try this

     

    Open the query you want to duplicate.

    Go to Advanced Editor.

    Copy all the M code.

     In Power Query, go to Home > New Source > Blank Query.

    Open Advanced Editor of the new query and paste the code.
