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 table/report which uses gauges to show film budgets against film box office takings:
This is what your report could look like in design view
A suggestion for how the final report might look is shown overleaf. In the meantime, here's some information which may be helpful:
- The title banner is a label, whose height/width is set relative to the containing gauge panel, rather than to one of the individual gauges
- The font of the title is hard-coded to 6 points, rather than being automatically set according to the text it contains
- The other two labels are offset relative to the gauge to which they pertain
- The gauges measure the budget and box office takings divided by one million
- The scaling of each gauge goes from 0 to 2000, and the number format of the labels has been set
Here is what the final report might look like:
The first two and a bit films
Save this report as Multiple Gauges, then close it down.
