DataSet panel in SSRS designer (BIDS or SQL Server Data Tools for SQL 2012) is gone

Dataset not showing in the left side ?

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.

1. Click inside the actual report layout.
2. Now select “View” from the main menu bar.
3. Now select “Report Data” which is the last item.
