SQL Server Reporting Services 2014/2012 - Jedi Master Level

Course:  SSRSJM
Duration:  2 Days
Level:  III
Course Summary

The course focuses on extremely heavy reporting problems whose solutions will save authors months of reporting time. It teaches how to avoid re-creating the same reports that differ only in different columns, groupings and measures. You?ll overcome SSRS limits and learn how to implement things that SSRS does support or officially doesn?t allow to do, even without the need for programming.

After completing this course, you?ll forget the phrase ?It?s impossible? and you?ll join the elite ranks of reporting masters. You?ll squeeze much more from the reports than is officially possible.
