Step 1: Open Microsoft BIDS
Step 2: Choose Report Server Project from the available project type, give a suitable name to the project and click on OK button.

Step 3: After clicking on OK button the below screen will appear
Step 5: Enter proper information in the Shared Data Source Properties.
Step 6: After clicking on the OK button, the following screen will appear
Step 7: Next click on Reports – > Add New Report

Click on Query Builder button and the Query Designer screen opens up .Note that 2 options are there in the table type
- Text (where we write the normal /inline SQL query)
- Stored Procedure
Note: we can click on the Import button and can specify the SQL file that contains the script. For specifying stored procedure , we need to specify the stored procedure name with a parameter name.
Step 8: Report created. If we look now into the Project Reports folder a new file ReportSSRS1.rdl is created.
Now let us click the Preview button to get the full report
If we have specified a parameter, then at the time of preview we need to give some value to it. This is how we can create a Basic SSRS Report with BIDS.
