Present SQL data with Reporting Services

“

- [Instructor] If you've spent any time with SQL Server databases, then I'm sure you've reviewed your fair share of data in the results window of a T-SQL query. While that arrangement can quickly give you some insight into your data, it's not the best way to present or share information in a consistent and legible way. That's where SQL Server Reporting Services can help. In this course, I'll show you how to use Report Builder to share your information more effectively by combining data from across a variety of databases and compiling it into clean, easy-to-read documents that include tables, charts, and other visual elements that clearly communicate the story your data is telling. With modern reports, the data that you share could have more impact and facilitate a clear understanding of the state of your business. When you leverage the report server Web portal to manage your catalog of reports, you can spend less time disseminating that information and more time acting on it. That's because all the reports are backed by the power of SQL Server queries, and the information visualized in the report will always be up to date. You design the report once and let Reporting Services handle all the hard work of keeping the presentation fresh and the message current. Hi, my name is Adam Wilbert, and I help people get the most out of their data by developing engaging documents, maps, and graphics. I'm excited to introduce you to Reporting Services so that you, too, can easily share your actionable data with style. Join me in my new course on LinkedIn Learning and see how to incorporate SQL Server Reporting Services into your data platform.
