Create a calculated field using SWITCH to categorise directors

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.

First create a report called Quantity not quality, and within this create a dataset to show how many films each director has made:

If you're not sure how to group in a dataset in SSRS, see the note below.

The easiest way to apply grouping is probably with the right mouse button:

You can right-click on the top part of your query to apply grouping.

Now create a table in your report to show this data:

Your table doesn't have to look anything like this!

Create a calculated field using the SWITCH function giving a rating for each director using the following rules:

Number of films made	Rating
1	One-hit wonder
2-3	Casual director
4-6	Experienced director
7+	Prolific

When you preview your report, you should see something like this:

See if you can find the only director whose rating is Prolific (it might not be a surprise when you do).

Close this report down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.
