Create a KPI to show if this quarter's sales exceed the previous quarter's

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. Once you've done this:

Go into SQL Server Management Studio;
Open the SQL file you've just unzipped (you can press CTRL + O to do this); then
Execute this script.

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).

If you haven't already done so, create a new project called BaseModel, and import the following tables: Centre, CentreType, Environment, Family, Habitat, Product, Purchase, Region and Town.

The aim of this exercise is to create the following pivot table:

Our target is that each quarter's sales should be at least 95% (and ideally 100% or more) of the previous quarter's sales.

To get this to work, create two measures:

Measure	What it will calculate
Total qty	The total sales quantity for any filter context.
Previous quarter	The total sales quantity for the previous quarter (use CALCULATE and DATEADD to go back 1 quarter in time).

Turn the first measure into a KPI with the second measure as your target, setting 95% and 100% as your thresholds, then save this workbook as Circles and close it down.
