Creating Reports

[schoemr]

Hi,

I know I must ask this is report section but in past I not have response.. I just like to know, I have app and my database is create in SQL Server Management Studio 2012. I want create report of records per grouping but in VS 2012 if force to add a field for 'values' (sum, multiply, min, max, count etc) I want create reports e.g. overdue reports, responsible persons per area, etc..

So, what can some one recommend to use for making such reports? Maybe Report Builder 3.0? or there better option?

Microsoft® SQL Server® Report Builder for Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 should be installed on the client machine for report authoring.

this mean every person who want see reports must install this on they pc?

Thanks,
M

I'm not very familiar with reports to help you much, but that just means that YOU must have it installed in order to create the report files others will use. Your users would just need whatever DLLs files are required. The couple times I've dealt with reports in .Net so far, I've used the ReportViewer control already mentioned rather than Report Builder.
