Preface:
Welcome to this course on SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). This course
marks the 3rd and final course in the Microsoft Business Intelligence Stack.
In all the courses, I have used commonly available free databases, so that you can
follow along with me. It been really a pleasure for me teaching 100,000+ student
enrollments and answering 10’s of 100’s of questions every day.
Hope you all enjoy this SSRS course.

In the videos, I have walked you all through some examples, which will help you
solve the below exercises. The below problem set is derived from the MSDN
website. I have designed the whole course so that you can solve the below
problems easily. Please note that some of the concepts will require you to read
and web search a bit. Always feel free to ask questions in the forums.
The below Assignment/tutorial is for SQL 2012, but will work perfectly in
advanced versions too.
