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.
Open the Power BI report in the above folder. It currently shows two charts:
The charts compare the average Oscars won and the average box-office takings for films by genre.
In the Films table, add two calculated columns:
| Column name | What it should show |
|---|---|
| Disappointment | The difference between the number of Oscars a film was nominated for and the number it actually won. |
| Profit | The difference between the box office takings and the budget for a film (divided by a million, so you can show the result in millions of dollars rather than in dollars). |
Note that some films - particularly the ones early on in the table - may not display figures for every row, since either the budget or the box office takings values may be blank.
Change your two charts to show your newly calculated statistics instead:
The new charts should show that Biographical films have the highest average disappointment factor, but Awful ones have the highest average profitability.
Save this report as Titanic struggle, then close it down.
