Load example tables from a SQL Server database, and use them to create a matrix

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.

Create a new Power BI file, and run the SQL script in the above folder to generate the Make-a-Mammal database (there's obviously no need to do this if you already have it on your computer).

Now load the following tables:

Choose the tables shown to load into your model.

Hide columns and tables so that you see a tidier list of fields:

This is what Microsoft call the "field well".

Create a matrix showing the average quantity sold by year/quarter and region:

Note that the averages are formatted to two decimal places.

Save this Power BI file with the name That was easy, then exit this instance of Power BI Desktop.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.

Hi, you can run the script in SQL Server Management Studio. We have a video which explains how to install SQL Server and Management Studio and how to execute a script to install a sample database which you can see here.

I hope that helps!
