Page history last edited by Dr. Ron Eaglin 10 years, 2 months ago

 Assignment 7 - Reporting

 

Objectives

 

Create a database report (using Report Builder 3 ) - you may optionally use Crystal Reports, however the use of Visual Studio tools and/or Crystal Reports designer is beyond the scope of this course.

 

Assignment

 

For this assignment you are going to create a report using Report Builder. The current version is 3.0 and it is a download that is available at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6116 - this tool is like most report builders (like Crystal Reports) - but it is free and it works well with SQL Server so we will use it.

 

PLEASE NOTE YOU ARE DOING 2 REPORTS

 

Part 1 -

 

Part 1 will allow you to practice with Report Builder and is worth 50% of the assignment. For part 1 use the data provided at the lecture site - Getting Started with Report Builder 3 and create a simple report of Fiscal Year in the LEFT column, Continent in the TOP row and the sum of all financial aid in the report cells. This should be straighforward as what you are doing will follow the lecture on Report Builder.

 

You will turn in a simple screen capture of your formatted report.

 

Part 2 -

 

This report will be more challenging. This report will be a menu - the menu should have each Menu Group and under each menu group the Menu Items with Descriptions

 

Chili's To Go Menu

 

Appetizers

Served with dipping sauces.
