Product Description

Your hands-on guide to learning Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, Microsoft’s customizable reporting solution for business data analysis. Reporting Services is a powerful tool for business intelligence, so an understanding of the essentials—how to architect a report, as well as how to install and program Reporting Services—is key to harnessing the full benefits of SQL Server. This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to get started, how to use the report project wizard, how to think about and access data, and how to build queries. It also walks you through the creation of charts and visual layouts to enable maximum visual understanding of the data analysis. Interactivity features (enhanced in SQL Server 2005) and security are also covered in detail. With STEP BY STEP, you work at your own pace through hands-on, learn-by-doing exercises. Whether you’re a beginning programmer or new to this version of the technology, you’ll understand the fundamental techniques for using Reporting Services. A companion CD includes data sets and sample code.

Good Seller His Books are like new, December 01, 2008
The book I purchased looks like it is new. I'd buy again from this seller.

Hubby had to have it!, November 24, 2008
co-worker had this book and this was hubby's #1 item on the Christmas list this year.

Microsoft® SQL Server(TM) 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step, June 19, 2008
Microsoft® SQL Server(TM) 2005 Reporting Services Step by Step (Step by Step (Microsoft)) should be the best book in this topic. The reason that made me ranked this book at 4 stars is because this book missed just one sentence to tell their readers the exact folder to copy the source code to or how to modify the path in sql script.

What a waste!, May 15, 2008
I purchased the book well over a year ago and placed it in my library for future reference. Now that I finally need it to dig into SSRS further, I'm truly disappointed. Besides the well documented script to load the databases not working, I've found plenty of instances where I found myself truly lost in the "Step by Step". I really had to go back time after time to see if I missed something. Low and behold, I didn't miss a thing. This was an extreme waste of valuable time away from projects. What the book is missing is a really good technical review. Long story short, placed this one on the shelf and ordered Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services 2005 by Brian Larson. Now I'm beginning to wonder about my SSAS Step by Step now. Then again, I'll just save my self valuable time and pick up another SSAS anyway. Hope this helps!

Just starting to create reports - Found this book VERY helpful, February 20, 2008
I am new to SQL Reporting Services. I found this book very helpful with its step-by-step approach. I would recommend it for beginners.
