The different Wise Owl courses for Reporting Services explained

You can see our SSRS courses, manuals, exercises, venues and much more at our main Reporting Services training courses page. This page shows what you might expect to learn on our two main SSRS scheduled courses:

Course	Notes
Introduction to SSRS	A two-day course showing you how to create reports in SQL Server Reporting Services.
Advanced SSRS	A two-day advanced course, showing people who already know SSRS some extra tips and tricks (and in particular how to create custom assemblies in code, and how to link to them).

We also publish an intensive fast-track SSRS course, which covers all of the introduction course topics and most of the advanced ones in a single three-day course.

Creating tables

On the introduction to SSRS course you'll first learn how to create tabular reports:

A simple table, listing directors of films.

Grouping tables

The introductory course then shows how to create grouped reports, including using outlining:

A report showing films by country, with toggle items for the country name.

Expressions

The introductory course then shows how to create expressions or formulae in SSRS:

The difference is a calculated field, and the page header and footer include expressions.

One particularly nice feature shown on the introductory course is the ability to use the render format to show a report as an Excel workbook of separate named worksheets, with one sheet per group (for example, you could have each director's films on a separate worksheet within the same workbook).
