Course Description

This is a fast-paced and in-depth course for Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) designed to get you building your own great reports in no time. This course will take you from the bare minimum basics all the way through advanced topics including:

Tables
Matrices
Prompts
Parameters
Charts
Drill Throughs
Sub Reports
Gauges
Standard Deviation

This course moves quickly to keep you interested but that doesn't mean skipping over important concepts or skimming details. With three hours of videos this course shows you everything you need to get the job done in the real world. The database we will be using focuses on a fictional consumer electronics store. This database is simple and easy to understand without a lot of extra fluff. But you'll be surprised at how many different types of reports you will be able to create. This course is hands-on. It includes all the SQL code you need to build your own copy of the database used in the lectures. It's OK if you aren't a SQL pro, the videos go line-by-line through all the queries and stored procedures used in the course. With SQL code attached in the appropriate lectures, you'll be able to follow along at home. The course is broken out into 2 main sections:

Database Setup - Explains the schema of the database, the data, the Stored Procedures, and other general back-end items.
SSRS - The main focus of the course, this section covers how to do all the important things to make great reports. This includes not only making functional reports, but also useful reports.

A small amount of SQL knowledge would be beneficial, but not strictly required for the course, as all SQL code is explained in the lectures. You should take this course if you are looking to improve your SSRS skill set and deliver reports that exceed your end-user's expectations. Who this course is for:

IT professionals who want to develop their SSRS skillset
Business Intelligence Analysts and Developers looking for new ways to create reports
Some previous experience with Microsoft BI products is helpful, but by no means required

Great content

Buena eleccin pero faltara uno mas reciente

By Ayse Betul Dede on 9/23/2020

It was a very valuable course, overall, although I noticed that knowing SQL better would help a whole a lot better since the course has gotten more complex towards the end of SSRS chapter. So my next goal is studying SQL. But overall, it was a very good course that taught me a whole a lot about the capabilities of this software and things can be done with it. Thanks!

The lecture is so fast it is hard to understand

By Alicia Johnson on 8/11/2020

Yes and no. I don't need to learn how to create the reports, since the reports are already created and cannot be modified. I just need to know how to troubleshoot when a report fails to run. Is it because the datasource is missing or is it because one of the values in the report is too large to handle.

Yes!

Good match

By Petra Stevenson on 6/10/2020

I think it's generally a good match. Maybe I needed something right before that tells me what select, from, select distinct, etc. are supposed to do.
