1 section • 14 lectures • 1h 36m total length

  • WORKING WITH REPORTING0:49

    Learn to use filters and parameters in reporting services data, with lessons on data filters, report parameters, and implementing them in Report Builder and Report Designer for changing business requirements.

  • USING DATA AND REPORT7:39

    Explore using dataset filters to control report data when you can't alter queries, and learn about data regions, report parts, and parameters for configurable, performant SSRS reports.

  • CREATING PARAMETER5:25

    Embed a dataset in report builder and create an orderDate parameter. Use a where clause with SO.orderDate and @orderDate to filter data and let users choose start dates.

  • ADJUSTING VISUAL9:25

    Adjust and test SSRS report parameters, turning Order Date into a date-time parameter with a calendar. Configure shared data sources and where clauses across Report Builder and Visual Studio.

  • REPORT WITH PIE9:50

    Build a pie chart in SSRS from scratch by adding a report, embedding a dataset, mapping transaction amount to values and quarter to categories, and enabling data labels.

  • CREATING ADD PAGE9:23

    Enhance SSRS charts by bolding the legend font and introducing two date parameters (startDate and endDate) to filter data with orderDate between them. Add a page header to display range.

  • CREATE LINKS6:49

    Insert a text box under the chart in SSRS, configure it to go to a URL, and paste the link. Embed the LearnIt logo as an image in the report.

  • ADD PARAMETERS7:16

    Learn to add and configure report parameters in SSRS, including start and end date filters and item name search with concatenated wildcards, improving end-user usability.

  • DISPLAYING EMPTY7:51

    Configure no rows messages in SSRS to show users when a date range returns no results, enable blank parameters, and explore data bars, sparklines, indicators, gauges, and maps.

  • INSERTING DATABARS9:56

    Learn to insert data bars and sparklines in SSRS, attach the quantity field, enable data labels, and add an indicator for transaction amounts to visualize daily totals.

  • INERRTING DATA BAR TABLE8:04

    insert a bullet graph gauge beside quantity, set the max to 400 for the qty gauge, and create a map report with the map wizard using SQL Server spatial data.

  • ADD7:32

    Enhance a map-based SSRS report by adding min and max amount parameters, reflecting transaction amounts with bubble sizes, refining the legend, and publishing the map as a reusable report part.

  • PUBLISH VIEW REPORT5:39

    Publish report parts from the file tab, review and modify maps and datasets, rename map to Sales Map, add a description, publish, and organize the SSRS portal with VS suffix.

  • DATA REPORT0:54

    Format data and embed images in report items using report builder and designer. Visualize with data bars, sparklines, indicators, gauges, and maps, and save maps as reusable report parts.

Requirements

  • No prior reporting knowledge needed
