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.

The above folder contains 3 files: two in CSV format and one in Excel.  Create a new Power BI report, and load these 3 files to create the following data model:

3 tables in model view

You'll have to create one of these relationships yourself. You should also hide the id fields, as no one will be interested in showing them in any report.

Rename the fields in the field well to make it more obvious what they represent:

Before name changes Revised names of fields
The original list ... ... and the revised names

Create a table listing out the directors:

Table of directors

A table listing the directors - feel free to do your own thing with the formatting.

 

Now create another table to list out the genres using the same look-and-feel:

Two tables

Remember that you can use the Format Painter tool to copy the formatting from one visual to another!

Create a third table to list out the films made by the director (or genre) that you've selected:

Table of films

The list of films you should see when you click on Akira Kurosawa.

Save this report as Go Akira, then close it down.

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