I am preparing a SSRS 2008 R2 commercial demo for my company, using Report Model to produce a kind of "BO Universe" data model to use with Report Builder, to show how users can produce their own reports by using a data model already created by a developer. I found out that Report Models are deprecated in SSRS 2012, is there any new tool to create a data model to deploy on report server, usable by users to produce reports?
Thanks in advance,
Daniele
Semantic modeling language (SMDL) report models are deprecated. Although you can you continue to use existing report models as data sources in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services reports you should consider updating your reports to remove their dependency on report models.
SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services does not include tools for creating or updating report models.
SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) no longer supports report model projects. The Report Model designer is not available in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS). You cannot create new Report Model projects or open existing projects in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) and you cannot create or update report models. To update report models, you can use SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services or earlier tools. You can continue to use report models as data sources in reports authored in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS) tools such as Report Builder and Report Designer. The query designer that you use to create queries to extract report data from report models continues to be available in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services.

You can try exploring power view.
You can create a tabular model and then explore it via power view.

I want to create regular update report from my sql database by using SSRS and visualize those reports in dashboard of the application.
Reports will get live data from live server database and should be updated every time a administrator will login to the dashboard. The SSRS part of creating report is no problem, but any suggestion on how to show live SSRS reports from SQL to Dashboard?

I'm a newbie when it comes to SSDT and connecting to TFS to create reports. One of the reports that I generate twice a day is a very manual process. I'd like to automate it or at least try. I'm having a hard time finding a step by step guide that shows how to use SSDT to connect to TFS 2015 and use WIT queries.
The example that anyone sends me can be very simple. I have some workitem queries in TFS that return the data.
One query returns all Critical 1 bugs and the other query returns High 2 bugs.
How to I use those queries to build the report in SSRS? Do I connect to the TFS_Datawarehouse or to the TFS_Analysis in the reporting server?
If you mean custom reports with SSRS, then you can reference below samples:

I am trying to use performancepoint 2013 services to create a report that simple displays a set of columns from SQL Server Table.
Apparently, PerformancePoint services can only display data from tables when used with analysis services (which i do not have on my SQL Server 2008).
I am looking for a way to make this work:
- Being able to display few columns from a SQL Server table as a report on Sharepoint 2013 using performancepoint services. Is it even possible?
If not, then what are my alternatives?
Please help.
Regards
The analytical reports in PPS only support Analysis Services as you mentioned. However what you can try is to connect to your data source using Excel and then build a PowerPivot model using that data. Upload the Excel spreadsheet containing the PowerPivot model to SharePoint and create a new Multidimensional data source that points to your spreadsheet, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff191197(v=office.15).aspx.
Another option would be to use Reporting Services or just simply Excel Services without PowePivot.
We have recently upgraded from Reporting Services 2005 to 2008 R2. In the 2005 version of Report Builder (1.0), you could only create reports from a published model. In the 2008 version (3.0) you can create reports from a model or from a SQL query.
We'd like to restrict users from being able to create reports from a SQL query and require them to use a model instead as we don't want them to be able to query the database directly. Is this possible?
You can prevent the users from having select access to the database itself. Use a separate account for the model.
The other part of this is a people problem, where you will have to explain to users what they need to do and why.
I have an Access db file, and I need to slice and dice the data for various reports that my boss wants.
Is Microsoft Reporting Services a tool that is appropriate for this kind of activity?
If so, would I import the Access data in SQL Server, then the reporting services is a tool that works on SQL Server, allowing the report builder to build custom reports?
SSRS is great for what your trying to do if you wish to stick with Micrsoft tech.
SQL Server Express Adv edition comes with report server. There are plenty of guides out there for install / set up but once going you can use a little application called Report Builder that lets you design the layout of the reports themselves.
Reporting server esentially generates reports from templates you produce in report builder app.
The free edition of report server that comees with SQL Express Adv can export reports into three types, word files, excell or PDFs and does a very good job at it. It also exposes a webservice with a whole myrad of web methods thats very very usefull. ASP.Net also has a control which you can drop into your apps which will render a report.
So in short, yes :)
Hope this helps.
