Edit SSRS report on SharePoint - reporting-services

There is an SSRS report embedded into SharePoint that needs to be fixed (the report does). I am familiar with SSRS and SharePoint, but not with the two together. Usually when I work with SSRS it is in Visual Studio. I can fix reports from there, and deploy them to the report server. But I'm not sure how the report got to SharePoint. Someone else put it there and now they are gone and I need to fix it. How do I go about editing / fixing an SSRS report on a SharePoint site? Where is this report anyways, on the report server with a link to it? I cannot find it there.
Please help.

Once in Sharepoint, click the dropdown arrow next to the report as shown below and choose 'Edit in Report Builder'.
Report Builder will take a few minutes to open. Once Report Builder is open, then you can edit the report and save it. Refresh the SharePoint site and your report will be updated.
Depending on your version of SSMS. I have SSMS 2008R2, which is compatible with Report Builder 3.0
Here's the link to download Report Builder 3.0

I had the same struggle once. Hope this helps.

SSRS Report - Subreport can't be found

Ok, I have an SSRS report that has 2 subreports in it. One works just fine and the other works in testing but when I publish the report to my AMS platform under their instructions, the subreport comes up saying it can't be found. I can run the report through Visual Studio and it works just fine without a problem and I have rebuilt the entire project a few times and republished but I still keep getting the same error. I know that the publishing is working because I made a change to the main report to expand the subreport area and allow me to see the full error and that published fine. Any reason this would work through Visual Studio but not when published? The report along with the 2 subreports all are in the same directory as well.
Additional note to this. I just went to the master report in Visual Studio and deleted the subreport from it. I then re-added it and gave it a different name. Rebuilt the report and re-uploaded it including the already uploaded sub report and I am getting the same error but the error is referring to the new name I gave the subreport so it picked up the name change but not the actual sub report for some reason
Sometimes SSRS website caches your old report and doesn't get overridden by your new reports. On the SSRS website, try removing all of your reports including the main report. Then re-deploy.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM “Forms for related record types” functionality is stopped working

My question is about SSRS report for CRM 2011 On premises version.
As everyone knows Microsoft Dynamics CRM provide us Out Of Box reports.
In these reports, there is one report named as "Invoice".
This report contains a Sub report named as "InvoiceSubReport".
The invoice report is working fine in CRM environment.
but When I am trying to run this report from Reporting server, then It is showing an error "Sub report not found".
Now, I have resolved this issue.
What I have done, I just downloaded both the reports, Opened them in BIDS, reassign the sub report to main report and uploaded in CRM.
After doing this exercise, the issue "Sub report not found" was resolved but now I am facing another issue.
The CRM "Forms for related record types" functionality is stopped working.
It means whenever I am running this report from Invoice form in CRM, It showing all the records instead of particular record.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

SSRS showing different data in reportserver and Microsoft Visual Studio

In Microsoft Visual Studio when i run a Report using a Preview the data is showing and when the same report i run from server side its not showing the same data as per the Visual Studio Preview
please suggest
Visual Studio caches locally data in order to reduce the generation time for design puroposes, it will only update the data if you change the parameters values so if your report doesn't have any parameter you will get old data.
To refresh Visual Studio data preview the report and press the refresh button inside the generated report.
Let me know if this can help you.
I had a very similar problem. When I previewed on VS 2015, everything displayed perfect, but when I deployed to my server successfully, only one field wasn't showing up.
What ended up working was changing my report data sets from shared to embedded. Even though they were referencing the same query, somehow there was a disconnect when referencing the shared data set rather than embedding it directly in the report.

ssrs 2008 R2 Main Report Deployment without Subreports

I prepared a report. I have used 15 subreports for the main report. When I deploy my report then all the subreports are also deployed in the Report Manager. I just want to see Main Report in the Report Manager instead of all reports. The snapshots are below. Is there any way advise me?
You'll need to go to the properties of the sub reports and hide them in tile view. You can't actually completely hide them but this will hide them from most users.

How to refresh subreport on Reporting Services

Is there any way to refresh a subreport in Reporting Services?
When I change something on a subreport file and back to the main report, I have to delete the subreport object and include a new instance again to get my preview updated.
Is there any way to update the sub report object in the main report without having to delete and include the same again?
Actually I think the answer is to ensure that you preview or rebuild the sub-report before you view it in the parent report.
The simplest way to rebuild a subreport is to preview it in BIDS, but you can also right-click | build on the report in the Solution Explorer. Alternatively, rebuild your whole report project if that's easier than rebuilding individual reports.
In BIDS, in your top level report, you should have a Subreport object. That object is essentially just a pointer to another rdl in the project. This should update automatically. What i think you're seeing is BIDS loading a stale version of the subreport. If this happens try closing BIDS all the way down and open the project back up again and rerun the parent report. It should have the updated subreport.
This is all assuming that you've got a report project in bids with standalone reports instead of embedding reports in aspx pages.
I realize this is an old post, but as can happen, I was someone with the issue as well and landed here through searching google. I'm not sure if the OP is using Visual Studio 2008 like one of the commenters is, as am I, but what I found is that while preview on the main report is not showing an updated sub-report, I can see the update by right clicking on the main report in the solution explorer and selecting "run". It doesn't seem to take much longer if at all to open the separate run window.
