Reporting Services Analyst InfoCenter
Analysts create reports and data models for personal use and for other people in
an organization. Analysts can be data processing professionals, but might also be
persons responsible for analyzing enterprise data in the course of other job functions.
Often, an analyst creates reports to identify trends, opportunities, problems, or
project characteristics. Analysts might be interested in data mining and the features
of SQL Server Analysis Services.
In Reporting Services, analysts are responsible for creating reports that include
aggregated data, expressions, and parameters. Analysts also design report models
for others in an organization to organize data into meaningful entities that facilitate
report creation.
Job titles that map to the Reporting Services analyst role include
Data Modeler, Business Analyst, or Financial Analyst, to name a few.
To help you quickly get started with the Reporting Services tools and documentation,
the following topics provide key information about creating and publishing reports
and report models. To view additional information in the documentation, from these topics
you can sync to the Table of Contents in SQL Server Books Online, where you will
