SSRS reports vs Advanced Find

Posted on by 1,017

Hi,

Can anyone help me understand with some scenarios of reports where you will be going for SSRS reports than using the Advanced find Excel reports?

Couple scenarios of SSRS reports with examples is highly appreciated

Thanks!

    Hi James,

    In addition to Andrew answers ,using Advanced find  we can not retrieve multiple related records for example if we want to retrieve Accounts list with multiple contacts you can not get using advanced find reports. Another example let say you want to add footer in a report where you want to display the total amount , you can not do it using advanced find report.

    Due to that we are moving to SSRS reports.

    Hello,

    The best example I believe is print forms with stylings, logos e.t.c. - you can't get it using Advanced Find.

    Also you can't use aggregates/groupings using Advanced Find.

    Another advantage of reports over advanced find is that on the same report you can get data from different recordssets like contacts, accounts and opportunities.

    Plus you can build diagrams and charts using SSRS.
