We have all been there! An urgent request arrives into the team demanding that we provide a report on 2 large SharePoint lists, requiring joins, sorts, calculations, “order by’s” and where conditions.

Ok, that’s kinda feasible.

You could hook them up to Excel and do a few fancy pivot tables then try to make it look nice in a report. Or maybe you could try to use Power BI.

Oh, hang on!

They also want to include some profile information from an internal HR system that lives in (on-premises) SQL Server tables.

Damn, so, now we’ve a massive SharePoint List and need to join it to a SQL Table and it needs to be thrown into a report and on the bosses desk by tomorrow morning.

Don’t you wish you could write SQL queries against your SharePoint Lists?
