Hi,
I am asking this question as to know if SSRS is the real solutions to reporting in Dynamics 365.
I wrote a simple report to show overdue tasks. It worked fine in VS 2015 environment. When I uploaded the report, it worked OK - no issues. However, when I ran the report, it gave me a weird error saying "Report can't be uploaded ... ". But the report was already uploaded.
There were 3 reports and one worked fine on Dynamics 365. Well, I started digging down by removing things. After spending two hours trying to resolve the issue, I finally caught it. The error was coming because I used "DateString()" function in one of the expression. I removed that and uploaded it again and it worked fine. However, I have obviously lost functionality. I still need to find the alternative of "DateString()" and see if it works.
So the real question is "Do we really know what is supported on Dynamics 365 reporting services?" Is it documented somewhere? Is there a way to know the limitation in a development environment without uploading and testing for each new feature? Or do we just have to tell the business to look for a different solution?
Just wanted to hear from your experiences and would like to know if anyone experienced the same level of frustration while trying to fix things.
