Publishing Reports to Sharepoint Site

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for some advice in regards to the best approach to publishing reports to our Sharepoint online sites. 

 

Currently we use an old version of SSRS we want to replace with an alternative or update to a newer version, ideally something that can integrate with our Sharepoint online instance. Reading the documentation of MS Docs, it sounds like we will need a new version of SSRS (Reporting Services Report Server (SharePoint Mode) - SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) | Microsoft Docs), does anyone have any advice as to what version, or the best approach to doing this? 

 

Thanks

Steve

    Hi,
    With SharePoint Online, bet approach to display reports is through the Power BI WebPart what means your reports should be in Power BI.

      Hi jcgonzalezmartin,

       

      Thanks for your response, are there any alternatives? Currently most of our reports were written in Visual Studio and the reports server then just displayed the reports on our intranet, presumable the PowerBI web part will require PowerBI licences for users to access the reports. Have MS not provided an alternative to SSRS? 

      Thanks again 

      Steve
