Creating Map Drill Down Reports in SSRS - SQL Server 2008 R2


In my last article, I talked about creating map report based on ESRI shapefile. In this article I will be talking about creating a map report with drill down functionality, so basically I will be creating two reports as follows:
  • Main report based on SQL Server Spatial data for showing countries wide sales
  • Drill down map report based on ESRI shapfile for showing statewise sales for the selected country
The idea behind this article is to demonstrate how you can use a combination of sources of spatial data and create a map drill down report. Also I will explain how you can import ESRI shapefile to SQL Server as a spatial data type and use it in a map report; for more information click here.
