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.
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
