You are designing a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) solution.
A report project must access multiple SQL Azure databases. Each database is on a different host. The databases have identical schema and security configurations.
You have the following requirements:
✑ The report must support subscriptions.
✑ Users must be able to select the host when running the report.

, and then create datasets.
* A data connection includes the data source type, connection information, and the type of credentials to use. There are two types of data sources: embedded and shared. An embedded data source is defined in the report and used only by that report (fits this scenario). A shared data source is defined independently from a report and can be used by multiple reports.
* Built-in data extensions include the following data connection types:
✑ Microsoft SQL Server
✑ Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services
✑ Microsoft SharePoint List
✑ Windows Azure SQL Database
Etc.
* Expression-based connection strings are evaluated at run time. For example, you can specify the data source as a parameter, include the parameter reference in the connection string, and allow the user to choose a data source for the report.
* Credentials You provide the credentials that are needed to access the data. The data source owner must have granted you the appropriate permissions to access both the data source and the specific data on the data source.

An existing report aggregates data from a SQL Server database in a chart.
You need to use the chart in a new report and ensure that other users can use the chart in their reports.

integrated with a report server so that you and others can reuse them in other reports.
* . By using Report Builder, you can customize and update reports that were created in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) Report Designer.
* In Report Builder, IT pros and power users can create powerful operational reports, and reusable report parts and shared datasets.

* (incorrect) Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience. It provides intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business decision makers, and information workers. They can easily create and interact with views of data from data models based on PowerPivot workbooks published in a PowerPivot
Gallery, or tabular models deployed to SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services (SSAS) instances. Power View is a browser-based Silverlight application launched from SharePoint Server 2010 that enables users to present and share insights with others in their organization through interactive presentations.

You are designing a subscription strategy for a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report.
You have an application that populates a table with user-specific subscription schedules and report formats.
You need to ensure that users can receive reports by email according to their preferences.

You are modifying a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report for a SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cube. The report defines a report parameter of data type Date/Time with which users can filter the report by a single date. The parameter value cannot be directly used to filter the Multidimensional Expressions
(MDX) query for the dataset.
You need to ensure that the report displays data filtered by the user-entered value. You must achieve this goal by using the least amount of development effort.
