Naming conventions

It is essential to have naming conventions for Power BI developers and data modelers. It helps with solutions' consistency and makes the code more readable and more understandable for the support specialists. It also sets common ground that everyone across the organization interacting with our Power BI solutions can benefit from.

Data sources do not necessarily have the most user-friendly names. So, it is essential to follow a predefined naming convention during development, which will help the support specialists and contributors create new reports on top of an existing dataset. The following naming convention is suggested:

• Use camel case for object names including table names, column names, and parameter names.
• Replace underscores, dashes, hyphens, or dots between the words with space.
• Remove prefixes and suffixes from table names (such as DimDate becoming Date or FactSales becoming Sales).
• Use the shortest and most self-explanatory...
