RE: How to fetch data from three different entities using fetch xml query in SSRS reports into one single report.

Thanks Leah for your response advance find option helped me to fetch query for all the three entities together, but i have not used any xrmtoolbox here. Below code helped me.

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">

<entity name="A">

<attribute name="X" />

<link-entity name="B">

<attribute name="Y" />

<link-entity name="C">

<attribute name="Z" />

</link-entity>

</link-entity>

<filter type="and">

</filter>

</entity>

</fetch>

Hi Sandy,

You can use Advanced Find to build fetch xml and download it, which is easy.

As you mentioned, Entity C is child to Entity B and B is child to Entity A.

1.Go Advanced Find.

2.select parent entity as your need, then select related entities under ‘Related’, and as the same operation for third entity.

3.clcik Download Fetch Xml.

Also, you can try to use (FetchXml Builder ) xrmtoolbox.

(1) select one entity.

(2) right click entity A, click Add and link-entity, and you can click Select attributes to select fields you need.

(3) Result view.

Regards,

Hi Sandy,

You can create a <link-entity> inside your fetchxml to join related entities.

Also you could choose to install the XRM toolbox. There is a FetchXML builder that makes it pretty easy to select the appropiate data.
