Create reports

Create a single-page report

1. Remove the matrix visual that was used to test and validate the model calculations.

2. Rename the report page as Sales Summary.

Add a slicer

1. Add a slicer for the Date table Year column and position it at the top-left of the report page.

2. Use the formatting options to configure the slicer for single selection.

Add various visuals

1. Add a line and stacked column chart to the page, and configure it as follows:

   • Shared axis: Date

     Month

   • Columns values: Sales

     Sales

4. Configure the shared axis to “show items with no data”.

5. Point out that December 2020 is added to the axis, but there is no column of data.
