Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services, Fifth Edition Review: This title is excellent. It has great step by step overviews of ... - This title is excellent. It has great step by step overviews of how to set up an environment for learning SSRS, and the exercises have all been thoughtfully assembled in an easy to download zip file. I found that I was able to quickly understand what I was doing easily. The text does not assume the reader is strong in SQL queries, but it does assume that you will either grasp the concepts quickly or be able to use the wizards to write targeted SQL queries. Knowledge is acquired by repeating the same actions a few times, then building on those conceptual ideas with new and fresh challenges in the material. I often find myself wishing that Microsoft Licensed VM images of its Windows OS and other projects for the sake of learning tools to avoid lengthy setups. Despite these challenges the setup of SQL Server and SSDT were very thoughtfully thought out with great step by step instructions aimed at a novice user. Overall I found the hardest challenge was knowing where to click on chart objects to find the right contextual chart menu. I found that if I clicked on the drop-down in "properties" to select an object I had a bit easier of a time. I also found that the SQL query syntax is just too small to read and is hard to code - These are all inherent issues in SSRS and Brian's book makes it a point to really learn these quirks and to see the code that should exist and to query accordingly. I'd recommend this title to anyone. Review: Revised My Review Up - here's why.. - I've updated my review after an initial frustration: The resource file for this book had yet to be made available by the publisher... BUT the AUTHOR stepped in and STEPPED UP after reading my review here and worked with publisher to make the materials available. I am a 3rd of the way through the book and find it the best SSRS book (have been through 3 and a user of SSRS since its inception. I bought the book to refresh my knowledge and introduce me to NEW features of SSRS for 2016. I have not gotten to the new feature examples yet so I cannot comment on those. the author does a good job of providing examples for for both SSDT/VS IDE or the Report builder suite. I use Visual Studio but read the RB suite tips also as I use that suite in a production integrated SharePoint environment. .. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #458,809 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #18 in Microsoft SQL Server #80 in Data Warehousing (Books) #99 in Database Storage & Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (103) | | Dimensions | 7.3 x 1.6 x 9.1 inches | | Edition | 5th | | ISBN-10 | 1259641503 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1259641503 | | Item Weight | 7.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 848 pages | | Publication date | September 20, 2016 | | Publisher | McGraw Hill | ## Images ![Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services, Fifth Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+ouJyVVRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This title is excellent.

Better packing would be nice if placed in a larger box. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/33974981-microsoft-sql-server-2016-reporting-services-fifth-edition](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/33974981-microsoft-sql-server-2016-reporting-services-fifth-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
