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 new view called vwFilmProfits to show the following information:
Your view should create a new expression called Profit, which subtracts the BudgetDollars from the BoxOfficeDollars column. The view should also divide all figures by a million.
Apply the following WHERE condition to your view to pick out only films which have both the budget and the box office figures filled in:
FROM
Film
WHERE
-- both financial fields must be filled in
BudgetDollars is not null and
BoxOfficeDollars is not null

Test your report works, then close it down.
