Course Covers SSRS which is applicable for students from Basics to Advanced Levels.

This course is all about creating reports in Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). No prior Programming or BI knowledge is needed, but some knowledge of SQL would be helpful.

We will download a version of SQL Server which includes SSRS - for free.

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.
