If you haven't already done so, restore the database in the above folder into Analysis Services in Management Studio (not for copying or commercial use). The database should contain 3 dimensions and one cube called MAM.
Create a new report, and include the Animal dimension attribute and Quantity measure.
Use the SWITCH function to create a new expression called Legs to give the number of legs for each animal, using this impeccable logic:
Animal | Legs |
---|---|
Snake | 0 |
Penguin or Owl | 2 |
Anything else | 4 |
Create a table listing out all of the animals, with their legs and quantities sold:
What your table should show for each animal.
Now format the quantity so that it shows with a different background colour if an animal has four legs:
The table, with quadrupeds shaded.
Save this report as Four legs good, then close it down.
