SSRS Reporting Services | Variables exercise | Percentages of total Oscars within group of films
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.
The answer to the exercise will be included and explained if you attend the relevant Wise Owl course (sadly, only in the UK for now).

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.
The aim of this exercise is to produce a report showing data like this (the formatting doesn't have to be as neat!):
For each director you see a list of their films, showing:
Some thoughts to help you are shown overleaf.
A good place to start is to create a simple report:
Start with a report showing films by director, but without the percentages.
You should now create two variables:
| Suggested name | Type | What it should hold |
|---|---|---|
| repTotal | Report | The total number of nominations for the entire dataset. |
| GroupTotal | Group | The total number of nominations for each director. |
You should now be able to build the formulae for your final report!
