I am trying to create a report that will list all the orders for a given month along with the total payment amount paid in that month. The payment entity is a custom entity. I have tried to do this through the standard reporting/view with no luck. I get all of the orders but no payment information is displayed. I'm assuming that I have to create a custom report. The problem is there is so much information out there and none of it seems to say the same thing.
I currently don't have full version of SQL Server installed on my desktop. I was thinking of installing SQL Server 2012 and I currently have Visual Studio 2012 installed. Can any one point me to a document/web page that will explain how to create a custom report using these tools, or is there a better way to go?
We are using the online version of CRM.
Thanks,
Gary
