DataSet panel (Report Data) in SSRS designer is go

Question

In the layout screen of an SSRS designer e.g. Visual Studio, I have lost the report data panel.

It has disappeared and I can't rmeember what it is called in order to get it back.

This usually lists the following items:

• Built-in Fields
• Parameters
• Images
• Data Sources
• Datasets

Previously it was in the same area as the general Toolbox and Server explorer panels.

Does anyone know how to restore it?

View -> Datasets (bottom of menu, above Refresh)

If you are using BIDS with SQL 2008 R2 you can only get the "Report Data" menu by clicking inside the actual report layout itself.

2. Now select "View" from the main menu bar.

3. Now select "Report Data" which is the last item.
