This course is all about creating reports in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Most of the course has been re-recorded using Visual Studio 2022. No prior knowledge is needed, but some knowledge of T-SQL would be useful.

We will download a version of SQL Server which includes SSRS - for free. We'll also download a database called AdventureWorks, which we will use in our reports.

We'll create various reports, developing our skills bit by bit. As part of designing a report, we will:

• Select report components (matrix, table, chart and other data visualisation component),

• Identify the data source and parameters,

• Design a grouping structure,

• Create drilldown reports and drillthrough reports.

As part of implementing a report layout, we will:

• Find out how to format, including formatting colours, dates and numbers;

• Configure the page;

• Implement headers and footers;

• Implement matrices, tables, chart, images, indicators, maps and groupings in reports;

• Create a range of reports using different data regions;

• Define custom fields;

• Implement global collections;

• Define expressions; and

• Implement data visualisation components.

As part of implementing interactivity in a report, we will:

• Create drilldown reports;

• Create drillthrough reports;

• Add interactive sorting;

• Investigate parameters, including multi-value parameters;

• Create dynamic reports in SSRS using parameters;

• Implement show/hide property;

• Add actions (jump to report and URL);

• Add Fixed headers and a document map.

By the end of this course, you should be confident in creating your own reports in SSRS.

What You Will Learn!

• Create reports in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
• We will develop your skills, bit by bit.
• You can also download a free version of SQL Server which will allow you to practice creating reports on your own.
• We will design a report, implementing report layouts and add interactivity into your reports.

Who Should Attend!

• This course is for you if you want to know how to create reports in SSRS.
• No prior experience with T-SQL is required, although the more knowledge you have it, the better.
• Having SharePoint on your computer is not necessary; we will use the stand-alone version of SQL Server. However, I will show the differences and similarities between Report Builder (SharePoint) and SSDT (the stand-alone version).
• This course is not for you if you only want to know about managing your existing SSRS reports in SharePoint.
