In certain reports if I click "New Measure" in PBI Desktop I get an object reference error! This has completely broken my ability to support client changes. Please help ASAP

Solved! Go to Solution.
Turns out issue was a duplicate measure name! Would be nice if MS could at least prevent the duplicate measure name or give a usable error message instead of crashing PBI Desktop.
Solution is to double click and rename the measure and everything starts working again!
