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.
If you haven't already done so, run the SQL script in the above folder to create a database of Make-a-Mammal data. From this load the following tables:
Regular readers might experience a bit of deja vu at this point ...
Create a chart showing sales by region and family:
A chart showing total quantity sold by region, for each family. Feel free to download your own image for the background!

| Drill-down to town level | Drill-down to centre level |
Create a gauge, KPI and card to show the quantity of sales:
Set the trend axis for the KPI to be the purchase date year.
Remove drill-down, and change your settings so that clicking on a data point filters the gauge and KPI, but leaves the card unaffected:
Clicking on the bar for South-East Reptile sales updates the gauge and card, but has no effect on the centre visualisation (the card).
Save this as Beginning to love PBD, then close down this instance of Power BI Desktop.
