In my early Power BI models, I prefaced my table names with “Dim” for lookup/dimension tables and “Fact” for fact tables because I thought it added an additional level of clarity and also because it organized the tables well in the Fields list. However, I stopped doing it mainly because I didn’t see any of the cool kids doing it in their models, and figured there must be an inherent problem with it. I strongly endorse the “do what works best for you and your users” direction of this thread, but I’m wondering whether any of you have strong feelings pro or con about this particular naming approach?
