For simple reports you dont need SSAS but you need only SSRS tool in Business Intelligence Development Studio.And if you want use different types of complex graphs in your report you can buy dundas reporting chart control component. |

| When I try to install BIDS using SQLEXPRESS_TOOLKIT, it says its already installed on the PC but I cannot see in the start Menu.. Do I need to configure something else to use this SSRS? |
