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 report called Fistful Of Dollars and add a data source which points to the Movies database. Add a dataset which includes the following fields:
Use a filter to return films with a GenreID of 17 - i.e. martial arts films.
Insert a chart into the report.
This example uses a 3D Pyramid chart but you're welcome to try a different type.
Assign fields in the Chart Data panel as shown below:
You'll need to change the aggregate function to Avg after you've assigned the BudgetDollars field to the chart.
Apply sorting to the Country field in the Category Groups section so that the chart is sorted in descending order of average budget.
Apply sorting as shown.
Add data labels and apply formatting to the chart so that it resembles the one shown below:
Feel free to experiment with formatting options.
Close and save the report.
