When creating calc groups you often need to put x measures into the ISSELECTEDMEASURE(). And currently you have to do this measure by measure

Hi @MarioMue13

That's a great idea, actually. While not exactly what you ask for, something that comes very close is creating a macro that puts the current selection into the clipboard, as a string that you can paste directly into your DAX expression. You can then assign a custom shortcut to that macro. Something like this should do the trick:

using System.Windows.Forms;

// Constructs a string that looks like "[Measure A], [Measure B], [Measure C]", based on the
// current selection in the TOM Explorer, and then copies that string to the clipboard:
var dax = string.Join(", ", Selected.Measures.Select(m => m.DaxObjectName));

if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(dax))
    Clipboard.SetText(dax);
