In this chapter, we stepped into the shoes of a report developer and created a Reporting Services report from start to finish using SQL Server Data Tools. Readers should now be familiar with creating a SQL Server report project consisting of a shared data source and report with a line chart and then deploying it to a standalone report server installed in the Native mode.

In the next chapter, we will switch gears and learn about Power View, a new self-service reporting tool geared more towards business users who wish to create their own reports.
