How to Become an SSRS Report Writer
The role of a Report Writer is heavily entrenched in translating business requirements typically from the business analyst into queries using T-SQL, MDX or DAX in Reporting Services (SSRS). Most of the Report Writer’s job is focused on his or her query skills and ability to understand where the data might live in SQL Server or a cube in SSAS.
