Creating visuals using dimensions and measures

Hi Team,

 

Recently, I noticed one thing. In Power Bi, there are any extra details about the visualizations, like a way of using dimesion and measures.
For example:
A bar chart means how many dimensions and measures are applicable for a bar chart.

When I recently noticed this in the Qlik documentation below, they gave details about the number of dimensions and measures you gave and what type of result you got. All the details are there.

 

Creating a bar chart Dimensions Measures Result

1 dimension1 measureA simple bar chart with one bar for each dimension value.
2 dimensions1 measureA grouped or a stacked bar chart with one bar for each value of the two dimensions.
No dimensionup to 15 measuresA simple bar chart with one bar for each measure.
1 dimensionup to 15 measuresA grouped or a stacked bar chart with one bar for each value of each measure.


Are there any official documents or blogs available for the extra contents? else anyone knows the reason "why they can't add the contents." 
Please provide your valuable answers. 

Thanks in advance!!
