Export a report to .RDL file in D365 F&O?

Posted on by 125
Hello,
 
In Dynamics 365 F&O how do I export a report as a .rdl file so I can open it in Visual Studio?  If I run the report on screen I can only export as PDF//Excel//Word//CSV//XML//MHTML//TIFF.
 
Thank you,
 
Michael

    One approach is trying a web search engine. I got this as the first link: Vendor/Item statistics report (PurchStatisticsVendItem).
     
    Another approach is finding it by the label (Dynamics 365 > Find Labels in Visual Studio).
     
    When saving a report result to a file, the default name used to be the report name (but I don't know if it's still the case).

    Thanks for that - is there a way to identify which report is which in D365? 
     
    For example there is a report in d365 called 'Vendor/Item Statistics' but I don't see that in the list in Visual Studio - unless it is called something else?

    You're talking about two completely different things.
     
    When you run a report, you get the output of the report, i.e. some pages with data got from data sources. And you can save this result as PDF etc.
     
    RDL contains source code of the report and you can't ever get it by running the report.
     
    Open Application Explorer in Visual Studio and navigate to Reports > Reports. There is the definition of SSRS reports.
