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 report in the above folder:

The report contains data on UK station usage in 2017-18, broken down by ticket type. The data is genuine!
Create a map showing the usage of stations for the region and passenger numbers chosen in the slicers:

This is only a suggestion for how your map could look. Make sure you display the Passengers column on your chart, not the Estimated Passengers one.
Add a tooltip field so that you can see which station you're looking at:

This shows that we are looking at Waterloo station (as it happens, the busiest station in the UK).
Add a table which shows the data for the pie chart slices you select:
![]() |
![]() |
If you use the Ctrl key to select these slices ... | ... you should see the season ticket travel for the 3 stations in question. |
Save this report as Meeting your Waterloo, then close it down.
