We had a “brown bag” lunch at work last Wednesday and the topic was SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). We use SSRS extensively at our company, but I have just recently been exposed to it, so I thought I would post some resources and information on the topic.
SQL Server Reporting Services is a report generation tool, similar to Crystal Reports, that can be used to make interactive and printed reports. The design environment takes a little getting used to, but it is a pretty powerful tool. Reports can be exported to a number of different formats including XLS, PDF and XML.
