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 Power BI report in the above folder, and see how many of the gaps you can fill in, given the time you have available!
Create 3 measures using the table below - the screen shot below shows what these should show.
Here are the measures you need to create:
| No. | Measure | Thoughts |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | % of previous quarter | For each quarter, what percentage the total quantity sold constitutes of the same figure for the previous quarter. |
| 2 | YTD % of all previous year | For each time period, the cumulative year-to-date figure divided by total quantity sold for the whole of the previous year. |
| 3 | 3-month moving average | The average of the total quantity sold for the previous 3 months. |
Here's what Wise Owl think the answers should look like!
