Support custom assemblies or at least offer some alternative
Custom assemblies in SSRS 2008 are a great way to re-use code in different reports. They are also unit testable.
Right now there seems to be no way to achieve this in SQL Azure Reporting, so it looks like we'll have to copy-and-paste a lot of re-occurring visual basic functions from one report to the other. This makes building the reports more a more tedious and error-prone process, not to mention the lack of unit testing for custom functions.

To implement Translation and localization of reports it is essential to use assemblies in your SSRS reports, Like you can do in on premise SSRS reports. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159238.aspx#External We have one set of files with all translations which we want to use in all reports for multiple databases. Beside translations, the user should be able to see reports in his preferred localization. For instance thousand separator, number format etc.

I would settle for cutting-and-pasting VB functions between reports but I found that reports with code won't run at all on SQL Azure Reporting due to RDLSandboxing. Perhaps webservice calls are preferred?
