Can I use Report Builder 2016 to create reports using SSRS 2014?

Question

Sorry for such a basic question, but google didn't clear up anything. Can I use Report Builder 2016 if I have SQL Server Report Service 2014? Is it compatible?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use Report Builder 2016. But if your report server is an earlier version, you'll need to set the TargetServerVersion to SQL Server 2008 R2, 2012 or 2014 .

The TargetServerVersion property is in DEBUG --> Reporting Properties in Visual Studio but I don't remember where it is in Report Builder but it should be similar.

Answer 2

If it helps someone, yes it is possible.

Answer 3

Yes, you can use Report Builder 2016 to build your reports. Report Builder will accept 2014 databases as a data source.
