Map Tips and Best Practices
SQL Server spatial “goodness”Makes parameterized spatial reports easier
Pass ID or Name as parameter, not spatial data.Makes drill-down map scenarios much easier.
Prevents having to store large amounts of data in RDL.Enables you to use SQL Server spatial functions
Additional functions available on Codeplex.Aggregate spatial data as part of ETL processes.
Map can combine SSAS and PowerPivot data with SQL Server spatial data.Store maps in the Report Part Gallery
Centralized location for storing and searching map assets for reports.

Sparklines and Data Bars
Sparklines“Data intense, word-sized graphics” – TufteAutomatic axis alignment. All charts can have the same data points, regardless of source data.Can be converted into full charts to support additional small multiple scenarios.
Data BarsUsually depict a single value in a cell.Min and Max are automatically determined, but are configurable.
Data Bars
Sparklines
Icons used to depict the status against a value, goal or a trend.Choose from pre-configured sets, or build your own!Colors, Icon and Size can be changed based on data.Automatic support for comparing each member of a group against siblings.Can also be placed inside gauges.
