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.

Create a new Power BI Desktop file, and get a list of the top 1000 films of all time, as rated by They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?   You can find the link you need at this page of our website.

Importing table from web

Choose the option shown here to get data from the web. If you haven't got Internet access, or the web page is no longer valid, you can import the data instead from the Excel workbook in the above folder (choosing the Films table).

 

Create a table to look something like this:

The films are in position order, and the table has a title and totals.
