I am trying to explore different ways to build custom Reporting in SharePoint for my own data. Please suggest me different ways to build reports for my data in SharePoint 2013. It would be helpful if you can direct me to source and best practices for developing reports in SharePoint where i can expoler in detail.
Hi Mark i am looking for something that can help me generate graphs or charts (just basics to begin with) from data stored in my sp list with some basic functionality like export, yes they can be webparts but i am looking forward to a client side based solution. I came accross a js library called highcharts which is perfect but a paid one, so i am looking something similar.
I was actually looking at this post yesterday! We may have a need to display Crystal Reports on SharePoint Online, so I may be working on a provider-hosted app version of this web part. If it happens, I’ll see if I can release it open source.
SSRS is the best option in Sharepoint, but yes for custom reporting you can opt for Crystal Reports. You can learn some from this link : Crystal Reports WebPart for SharePoint
SQL Server Reporting Services has an integration mode for SharePoint. Using the publishing features in SharePoint, you could create something similar as well. It really depends on your requirements.
Hello Akshay … what kind of reports do you want to do ? Should they be exportable? Should they be charts (as web parts). There are a few options depending on how you answer…
