Create a pyramid chart in SSRS to display the average budget of martial arts movies.

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).

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.
