# Create Reports

The first step in report creation is deciding what data you will report, then create the SQL query to pull the data from the database.

In this screen you can edit an existing report, or you can create a new report.

{% hint style="info" %}
To create reports you will need to know TSQL, the best option is to download the database [backup ](/p4warehouse-english/setup/reports-and-kpi/database-backups.md)to create your SQL statement.
{% endhint %}

By clicking the name of an existing Widget, you will be able to edit the reports SQL statement.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Reports are an in-depth subject; it is recommended you speak with your P4 Warehouse Partner to get more details.
{% endhint %}

Once you have your SQL Query working you will need to add a grid.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.p4.software/p4warehouse-english/analytics-reporting/reports/create-reports.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
