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, and within this a dataset showing the certificate, film id and number of Oscars for each film (you'll need to include the tblFilm and tblCertificate tables).
Now create a matrix, with subtotals, to show the number of films for each certificate and for each number of Oscars won (see the notes below):

All cells containing 0 have been conditionally formatted
There are a few tricky things involved for this!
- You need to add subtotals, then format them to a different colour
- You should sort both the row and the column headers
- Set a background colour for the matrix to be PaleGoldenRod if and only if the count of films for the cell is zero
Save this report as Pretty pattern, then close it down.
