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.

Create a matrix comparing the number of Oscar nominations and the number of Oscars actually won (see the notes below!):

Report Builder 3.0 exercise - Matrices (image 1)

Lots of things to watch out for here!

Some notes to help you:

  • The matrix is filtered to omit films scoring no nominations
  • You should colour pink boxes where the number of wins exceeds the number of nominations (this should never happen!).  The pink box shows an error in the underlying database.
  • Set the Hidden property of each cell of the matrix to be True if the number of values in the cell is 0

Save this report as Better to travel hopefully.
