Advanced SSRS

Available as classroom training course only

£750 + VAT for most venues (£895 + VAT for London)

2 days

If you can already create reports using either Report Builder or Reporting Services, we'd like to show you what else SSRS can do! This two-day advanced course will show you how to create and use variables; why and how you should base your reports on views and stored procedures; and how to use bookmarks, document maps and dynamic reports. If you're getting a group of people up to speed on SSRS from scratch, combining this and our two-day Introduction to SSRS course together makes for a nice three-day onsite course.

Sample customer feedback

Our thanks to everyone who agreed to share their thoughts (note that some of these reviews may be for our online courses).

"Nicely paced with great instructor. Also, worth mentioning that the tutor went the extra mile to help me with material at the end of each day. I had seen many of his videos online which I found immensely helpful and was really pleased to find he was just as great a teacher face-to-face."

Quentin Harris (NHS NEL CSU)

"(Intro Power BI course) Excellent pace for 2 days. Plenty of interaction and humour. Great lunch breaks. (DAX course) Excellent course. Very well delivered on a "tricky" topic which could have sent me slightly mad. Great pace of delivery. This is the first time I felt I could do the same course again! (Advanced Power BI course) Excellent delivery of a new course. Quick measures were very useful after the DAX course (a good compliment)."

John Pelan (Coloplast Ltd)

"The trainer was very competent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Well done!"

Sandro Fasolo (Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust)

"Excellent course, excellent trainer and excellent course manual."

Ilkka Laurmaa (Delta Motor Group)

"The course is brilliant. I now feel, after a long time tinkering with SSRS by myself that I am now on the right track, simply because of this course. The trainer is great at explaining the complexity of it in simple terms. I would happily recommend this course! The online courseware is excellent and really helped me understand my requirements to get the most out of this course."
