Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

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. Please note: This course is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft. 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.
