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 Gender stereotyping, then within this manually create a parameter which has three possible values for gender:
When you run the report initially, you see a dropdown of 3 possible values, with the first being the default.
Create a stored procedure which lists out all of the actors for any given value of the gender parameter (make sure you choose the same parameter name in your stored procedure as you used when creating the parameter, otherwise SSRS will create a new parameter alongside the existing one).
Get your report to show all of the actors for the gender chosen, colouring the report pink if you choose Female or blue if you choose Male. For example:
|
|
| If you're not bothered. | If you choose Female. |
