Thanks for making this video Megan. This has been very helpful for me to get started. I wonder what Microsoft is going to do with Report Builder going forward. If they just added the option to use FetchXML or CDS inside of Report Builder, we could just use that without having to install so many tools.
Hi Megan - is there any way to filter this type of report to the selected record? This is my first report, it works great...except that it runs the report on all the accounts, not just the selected record...do I add a filter to the FetchXML, or is there something in Visual Studio that does that? Everything I've experimented with does not work...
Oh, good point! I should have done ☹️ sorry! If it's of any interest, I just launched this today: learn.meganvwalker.com/courses/writing-ssrs-reports-for-cds-365
Would you have any insights on how to set up Microsoft Dynamics 365 Report Authoring Extension on Visual studio 2019? I cant seem to find some compelling online. Most of the tutorials focus on Visual Studio 2017
Hi Megan, I follow all your step and manage to create from VS. However, I cannot upload it to D365 CRM for some error: Invalid Data Source. Is there anyway to fix this? ever encounter? Pls. TIA
Hi Rose, did you make sure to get the report from the bin then Debug folder? Check out this post, it might help? meganvwalker.com/creating-fetch-xml-reports-using-visual-studio/
Really nice presentation, I do have a scenario where I need to create an XML for a child entity with different parent entities. If possible can you let me know?
Not sure what you mean by missed it out. The video was designed not for beginners necessarily but more for people who have created reports before, but were not sure how to do it with multiple entities. The Data Source is Dynamics 365. Have you created D365 reports before?
Oh , So many thanks it was the first of the path to create Report in D365 , Excuse me I have question . I came from AX 2012 Reporting SSRS , Now I want to start to work in D365 reporting , my question is there big different in SSRS reports on D365 and Ax 2012 ? , and if need to start to customize D365 report for example " Sales invoice" to change design and add Fields from where I can start ? Thanks again
Hi Khaled, glad this helps! CDS (or where your D365CE data is stored) reports are written using FetchXML. I've recently launched a course that might help? learn.meganvwalker.com/courses/writing-ssrs-reports-for-cds-365

Very nice presentation - I couldn't find an other video about how to set up visual Studio.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for creating the video. It would have been great if you could have run the report at the end so we could see the results of your work. Thanks.

Megan you are missing an important step here. What Data Source you created to connect with Dynamics?
Not sure what you mean by missed it out. The video was designed not for beginners necessarily but more for people who have created reports before, but were not sure how to do it with multiple entities. The Data Source is Dynamics 365. Have you created D365 reports before?
Amazing!!!! Thank you very much, this video was extremely helpful.
You are very welcome! Glad it helped. 👍🏼
