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 report. Load the worksheets from the workbook in the above folder, and use them to create a data model:

Your data model should only include columns you might want to display in reports.
Now create a table and matrix, such that when you click on a continent (such as Africa for this example) you see the number of events in each of its countries, by year:

Your matrix should count the number of events for each year and country.
Save this report as Out of Africa, then close it down.
