Use the SWITCH function and format expressions in a report of a cube

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.

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, and include the Animal dimension attribute and Quantity measure.

Use the SWITCH function to create a new expression called Legs to give the number of legs for each animal, using this impeccable logic:

Animal	Legs
Snake	0
Penguin or Owl	2
Anything else	4

Create a table listing out all of the animals, with their legs and quantities sold:

What your table should show for each animal.

Now format the quantity so that it shows with a different background colour if an animal has four legs:

The table, with quadrupeds shaded.

Save this report as Four legs good, 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.
