Yes, you read that correctly. I am bringing back from the dead the very first presentation that I did for #SQLSat212 in Kansas City on August 12, 2012. I&#8217;m guessing you are wondering why I would do such a thing.\u00a0\u00a0Well, I think that SSRS received some much needed updates in the last several years and is still a worthy Business Intelligence tool. But I realized no one is talking about it any more.\u00a0 So I&#8217;m updating the slide deck, demos, and the whole kit &amp; caboodle! So if you are curious about SSRS, some of the new features and how to make a quick report this session is for you.<\/p>\n<h1>Thank you, Idera!<\/h1>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IderaAceLogo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1360\" src=\"https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IderaAceLogo-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"IderaAceLogo\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IderaAceLogo-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IderaAceLogo-768x1007.jpg 768w, https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IderaAceLogo-781x1024.jpg 781w, https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IderaAceLogo-114x150.jpg 114w, https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IderaAceLogo-400x525.jpg 400w, https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IderaAceLogo.jpg 1371w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Update <\/p>\n<p>Well if you haven&#8217;t heard I had to have surgery on my knee.
