Creating Dashboard using SQL Server 2005

Hi,
can we create a Digital Dashboard using MS SQL Server 2005? Kindly guide.
Akshay.Hi,
Sort of. You can integrate the Reports with SharePoint to create a
dashboard. There are other solutions out there that handle it better... I
haven't used any others, but I hear there are some excellent ones out there.
Try googling and good luck.

one report inside another. That may be what you want. Watch out though -
subreporting is not very flexible and has lots of limitations. The two most
frustrating are scheduled execution becomes very complex to manage and there
is no simple way to pass variables up or down the chain.
If all you want to do is put more than one table/chart/matrix on the screen
at once you may be better off just creating multiple datasets and chart
objects inside the same report.

Digital dashboard, without using sharepoint. Infact I have done this before
in one of my small projects.

chart, matrix etc.. with different dataset keeping one record of all
information in each datasets. so that it doesn't iterate for the records.
This way you can achieve Dashboard at one short.
