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.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file .

Open the Power BI report in the folder above, and create the following report:

The picture you'll need is in the same folder. You'll also need to add an (arrow) shape and a matrix, and set conditional formatting for your matrix. As for how to sort the certificates ... see below!

To get the certificates to appear in the correct order, you'll need to sort them by the CertificateId column and not the Certificate one. To do this, select the Certificate column and choose this menu option:

Choose to sort the Certificate column by the CertificateId one, using this dropdown on the Column tools menu.

When you've finished, save your report as Films in Technicolor, and close it down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.

Hi.. How can i hide the Unknowm column from the matrix?

Yep, same thing here, sorting Certificates by ID doesn't help, tried to create a new matrix and even sorted the "Films" table by Certificate ID, nothing works.

I have just checked this, and it works perfectly! I had to widen my matrix to see the columns, which perhaps is what was going wrong?

This column sorting does not work for certificates even when my answer is matching. Please advise, as it still shows in the old manner. I have sorted by certificate id which it reflects under data field but under report field it comes in the same manner unsorted.

You just need to delete the visual and create it again. Then it will work. I had the same problem with my visual too. I solved it like this.

Not sure why this would be the case. The principle works! Make sure you do as the exercise suggests, and don't have any additional sorting in the report overriding the (new) default behaviour.
