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.

To start, if you haven't already done so run the script in the above folder to generate the MAM database (not for commercial use or copying).

Connect to tables such that you can create the following PowerPivot field list, and hence pivot table:

PowerPivot field list Resulting pivot table
The PowerPivot field list The pivot table

The only clue for this exercise is that you'll need a function to find out what status an animal has, given its number of legs - something like:

=SWITCH([Legs],4,"Quadruped",2,"Biped",0,"AnythingPed")

When you've got your pivot table working, save this file as Beginning to like PowerPivot.
