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.
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).
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 the Oscar nominations for each film, the % of the total Oscar nominations for this director that this makes up and the % of the total Oscar nominations for the entire report that this makes up.
Some thoughts to help you are shown below.
A good place to start is to create a simple report:
Start with a report showing films by director, but without the percentages.
Then 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!
