Shared Dataset is not supported with sql server 2012 reporting services

Question

I am trying to deploy the shared dataset in Visual Studio 2010 solution to Sql server 2012 reporting services. But always getting the below error:

The feature: "Shared dataset" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.

Answer 1

Depends on what version of SQL Server you're using.

If it's Express Edition Advanced or Workgroup or Web edition, I think it's not supported.

Shared dataset are absent in express, web & workgroup versions see msdn link

Answer 3

I'm new to the SQL BI tools. After a couple of days of setting up I hit this same problem. And saw where the Express Edition (which is what I'm using) doesn't support shared datasets. So I changed my test reports to use embedded data sets & reports are now able to deploy.
