- 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).
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 I'm Not Picky and add a data source which connects to the Movies database.
Design a report which allows someone to filter a table of films using multiple parameters:

Here's an idea of how the report could look.
You should ensure that each parameter can accept either a blank or a null value and check that your filters still work if you do so:

You'll need to write several expressions in filters and formatting properties to get this to work.
Use a new dataset to populate the date parameters with the earliest and latest dates in the ReleaseDate field:

The default values should appear as shown here.
Add a no rows message which summarises the user's choices:

You'll need a long expression to make this work.
Save and close the report.
