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 the data from the workbook in the above folder (you can get a link to the figures here, should you be interested in further research!).
Use Query Editor to display the name of each program and its viewing figures:
You'll need to split the program name by the ( symbol. All good practice!
Create a pie chart showing the average number of viewers by program:

Is it meaningful to show the average viewing figures by genre? Probably not, but it makes for a good exercise.
