Report Builder Top N functionality

I'm not seeing any built-in functionality for Report Builder to get Top N values. Am I missing something? Is there a way to do this? If not, is there a way to simulate this functionality?

Thanks.

Report builder & designer end-user's functionality

Where can I find a comparison between the report builder and designer? I would like to implement an end-user solution and as part of the exploration process I failed to completely understand the capabilities and disadvantages in each of the modules (I’m talking about the end-users functionality for the given reports – not for the designer’s usability of any sort)

Thanks

Ron

Take a look at slide 13 of http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/2/6/e2631eea-9a8d-484c-ba43-ac2e5be86396/BIN316.ppt. This is a version of a slide that I built to explain the differences.|||

Hey Brian - any chance you have a new location for this? The link is currently invalid.

Hello Brian,

I was just wondering if MS Report Builder is a good choice to work on SQL Database where several tables each containing '8 Million Records'? So far I have found it 'Unacceptably Slow' (even with several filter). Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anis.

Report Builder - using a .net dll

Hey,

Does anyone know how to or if it is possiblie to incorporate a custom .net dll in the report model to add additional functionality as you can in regular reporting services. The functions would be used on the server and not by the report builder user.

Thanks

Bruce

In the current version it is not possible to extend RB to use custom assemblies.

That said, there is a way to do it. You can build report in RB, save to report server or file and then load and edit it in Report Designer. Here you can add reference to your custom assembly and use it in expressions.

Alexandre,

if i can hijack this thread to ask a further question on this topic: does the assembly have to be v2.0, or can v1.1 assemblies be referenced and called?

Thanks,
