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.

Create a new project importing tables from the Make-a-Mammal dataabase.

In a new Excel workbook create a connection to your model, showing the results in a Power View report.  See if you can make your report look something like this:

Power View report

The tiles choice of age group should control both the table and the chart.

Save this workbook - imaginatively - as Report, then close it and your model down.
