Naming conventions in BI

Trust me you want to find a way to keep the name as intuitive as possible.

Reasons below

Easier for others to understand
Easier to reference inside measures with intellisense
Only way to make Q&A more natural when asking questions
Prepopulating of titles and axis names
Better continuity for all those who may work on the model

There could be others these are just once I can think of right now.

My other suggestion as well if you feel your model is very large, is to simplify it.

I’ve worked on a number of larger models and have found that if I simplify things and optimise table, columns and measures, then it never really gets out of hand.

Thanks
