Dimensional Design References 
The principles of dimensional design apply equally to both relational database and semantic model design, and most books on the topic contain SQL database and data warehouse use cases. The patterns are the same for semantic model design. Standard dimensional design patterns cover the gamut of basic, simple models to complex, specialized use cases. Every Power BI professional should be proficient in applying the essential skills, rules, and patterns of dimensional modeling documented in the following resources:
