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 load both worksheets from the Excel workbook in the above folder (you can view the original Skyscraper Centre data via a link here).
You'll probably need to click on the Use first row as headers tool in Query Editor for each worksheet.
Create a relationship to show for each building which country it is in:
Link the country codes together.
Create a table showing the number of buildings for each country name, and you should get this:
If you include the Country from the Countries table, you'll get this, but there's a blank country at the top of the table.
The problem is that our countries table isn't complete. To get round this, create a new column in the Buildings table which gives:
- the country name, if it can find a related value in the Countries table; or
- Other otherwise.
You'll need to use the IF and RELATED functions.
Replace the country column in your table with this new column to get the final answer:
The Other country appears halfway down the list, and has 4 countries.
Save this file as Russia and Vietnam, and close down the instance of Power BI Desktop containing it.
Hi! What query would we run using related and IF to solve the exercise. Thank you so much.
You can unzip the answer following the instructions at the bottom of the exercise.
