Has Microsoft put out a better tool yet for report transformations?
I have a client on NAV2009 that is upgrading.
I have been doing the Convert Object, Transformation Tool stuff and then finalizing with the Upgrade Reports function to get them to NAV2013....so then I can upgrade them further with the RDL in place.
But my goodness the layouts are bulls%$t ugly... and don't come even close to resembling the original layout.
I tried the tool ForNAV and it did a beautiful job... but puts in hooks so that you NEED it to open it to work anywhere else.
Client doesn't want to pay for additional licensing... so back to 'old school'...
I ran into these issues back in NAV2013/R2 versions... but would have thought Microsoft would have worked on their transformation tool...
Anyone have any suggestions so I don't have to play for days on each report...
I have 23 reports that need to be converted from 2009 to current...
At this rate... I am thinking its 23 weeks to completion... ;(
