In this article, we will show you, How to Create SSRS Report using Stored Procedure with an example. This is one of the frequently asked questions by SSRS followers. In order to demonstrate the same, we are going to create a Stored procedure on the Adventure Works DW database.

Now, Let me write SQL query to create a Stored Procedure on Adventure Works DW:

USE [AdventureWorksDW2014]
GO

IF OBJECT_ID ( 'SP_ProductSales', 'P' ) IS NOT NULL   
    DROP PROCEDURE SP_ProductSales;  
GO
 
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[SP_ProductSales]
AS
BEGIN
      SET NOCOUNT ON;
	  SELECT Prod.Color, 
             Prod.EnglishProductName AS ProductName, 
             Fact.SalesAmount,
	         Fact.OrderQuantity, 
             Fact.TotalProductCost, 
             Fact.TaxAmt
       FROM DimProduct AS Prod 
         INNER JOIN FactInternetSales AS Fact 
            ON Prod.ProductKey = Fact.ProductKey 
END
GO
