Create two pivot tables, and two timelines which control both of the pivot tables

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file . Once you've done this:

Go into SQL Server Management Studio;
Open the SQL file you've just unzipped (you can press CTRL + O to do this); then
Execute this script.

This will generate the database that you'll need to use in order to do this exercise (note that the database and script are only to be used for exercises published on this website, and may not be reused or distributed in any form without the prior written permission of Wise Owl).

In a new workbook, create a new PowerPivot data model and import the last 9 tables in alphabetical order from the Make-a-Mammal database.

Use these to create two pivot tables and two timelines. Here's what the timelines should look like:

Here we've chosen to see all purchases made in 2011-2015, but paid for in 2016.

For the timeline choices shown on the previous page, your pivot tables should show this data:

The first pivot table shows the number of purchases by centre type and environment; the second shows the average sale price by region and family. The timelines should control both of them, to give the figures shown.

Save this workbook as Time after time, then close it down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.
