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.

Open the Power BI report in the above folder - it contains a list of the most popular websites in the world as of the start of 2019 (ish).

Apply a filter to your matrix so that it misses out any categories containing the text porn (this is a family-oriented course, after all).

Create a slicer allowing someone to choose a continent:
