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.
If you haven't already done so, restore the database in the above folder into Analysis Services in Management Studio (not for copying or commercial use). The database should contain 3 dimensions and one cube called MAM.
Create a new report based on the Centre, Town and Quantity dimension attributes and measures.
Create a calculated field giving the centre and town concatenated together, as shown in the report below. Create a report (to include a page header and footer also) to get something like this:
The page header should show the execution date/time, and the page footer should show the page number. Your report will have many fewer pages than this!
Save this report as Simple formula, then close it down.
