Introducing Reporting Services Charts for Analysis Services

The initial focus of my “charts for Analysis Services” articles is a full set of procedures that are designed to support a more in-depth study of specific property settings, and so forth. My objective is to allow a reader to quickly assemble a given chart report (relying upon, for instance, already assembled data sets and other underlying support within existing sample reports), and to move efficiently into targeted reporting nuances that meet real world needs. While initial introductions will focus more on the creation of a given type of report, this report will serve as a basis in prospective articles, where useful, to demonstrate more detailed intricacies that I have found useful in meeting recent business requirements of my clients and readers. The ultimate objective, as is typically the case within my various columns, is to provide hands-on opportunities to learn overall, start-to-finish procedures, before homing in on specific options of interest, although we will certainly deal with many of these options in even our early exercises, as a part of completing the stated objectives of these sessions.
