This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.
This will generate the database that you'll need to use in order to do this exercise (note that the database and script are only to be used for exercises published on this website, and may not be reused or distributed in any form without the prior written permission of Wise Owl).
Create a new tabular model project in Visual Studio called SimpleModel (because it will be!).
The aim of this exercise is to allow users to create the following pivot table. Details of how to do this are in the following pages, so make sure you read on!
This pivot table shows the average purchase price by region and family.
First import from the CAC database the following tables:
Table name | Contents |
---|---|
Centre | Shopping centres |
Family | Families of animal |
Product | Products sold |
Purchase | Purchases made |
Region | Regions of the UK |
Town | Towns |
Add a measure to the purchases table called Average Price, which calculates the ... average price.
Hide the tables and columns which the user shouldn't see - you should now have something like this:
Your model doesn't have to look exactly like this!
Create a pivot table, and make sure that your pivot table field list looks nice and tidy:
Beauty and simplicity often go together ...
You should now be able to create the pivot table shown at the start of this exercise!
