Hello everyone,

I am looking for any information or learning tools that anyone might have around learning SSRS reporting,

Also if anyone has a beginners data set that I can use in my Test environment so that I can have a practical example to learn with?

 

regards

    Are you well versed in SQL? If not I would start there.

    Here are some link for SQL.

    http://www.w3schools.com/sql/

    http://www.sqlcourse.com/index.html

    Here is a link to the basics for SSRS.

    This requires a quick, free registration, but I like the Stairway series on SQLServerCentral.com:

     

    Here’s part 1 of 11 (I think)

    Hi Claire!

    I did a 4-day online class early on through Pragmatic Works that was pretty good. It looks like it has doubled in price though since I took it - so you'd have to weigh that part of it:

    It's not Tessitura specific certainly, but I find the session presentations from the annual TLCC conferences to be *incredibly* helpful in this regard. Here are some links to those:

    http://www.tessituranetwork.com/en/network/Conference/Conference%20Schedule/07%20O%20Basics%20of%20SSRS.aspx

    http://www.tessituranetwork.com/en/network/Conference/Conference%20Schedule/07%20L%20Adv%20SSRS%20P2.aspx

    http://www.tessituranetwork.com/en/network/Conference/Conference%20Schedule/06%20L%20Adv%20SSRS%20P1.aspx

    Also some more helpful Tessitura training from Ryan (above):

    Hope that helps!

    Hi Claire,

    I'm still working through it myself, but Brian Larson's SSRS book was recommended to me very highly:

    http://amzn.com/0071760474

    Obviously it's not Tessitura-specific, but they do have a sample database you can download and work through the examples with, which has been very useful for me.

    Thanks for the info... Starting a T-SQL course really soon :)

    Thanks for that Matthew,

    Claire, some great tutorials for beginners on the latest versions of SSRS (that comes with SQL Server 2008, 2008 R2 or 2012) can be found here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522859(v=sql.105).aspx. You can download and install sample AdventureWorks database to work with these tutorials.
