  • Hi Bakhtawar ,

    It is a snowflake schema rather than a star schema. You need to create the relationships between per Dimension tables and Fact table directly to create a star schema.  You could reference the document to learn more: Understand star schema and the importance for Power BI.

    And for primary key icon, it is not supported in Power BI for now. If you really need it, you could submit the request in Ideas and vote it up to get fixed quickly.
