Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Open the Word document called Sightings in the above folder, and copy the two tables it contains into a new project/model in SSAS Tabular.  Create a relationship to get the following data model:

Sightings by animal

The data model should record sightings of different animals.

 

Create calculated columns allowing you to show the following pivot table:

Not known for not found parents

The pivot table should show 1 sighting of Not known animals, since unicorns don't exist in the parent Animals table.

 

You should be able to combine the ISBLANK and ISRELATED functions to achieve this.

That's it!
