The Report Designer for Visual Studio 2015 is included in Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools. If you can't find it, follow these steps:

1. Check your Installation:
- Open "Programs and Features" and find "Visual Studio 2015."
- Click "Change."
- Under "Windows and Web Development," locate "Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools" and ensure the checkbox is selected.
2. Install from Extensions (if needed):
- If the checkbox doesn't resolve the issue, try installing the Report Designer directly:
  
  In Visual Studio, go to "Tools" > "Extensions and Updates."
  
  Choose "Online" and search for "Microsoft RDLC Report Designer for Visual Studio."
  
  Click "Download" and follow the installation instructions.

In Visual Studio 2015, the Report Designer is part of the Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools1. If you have already installed it and still can’t see the report designer, you might need to modify your Visual Studio setup. Here are the steps:
1. Go to Programs and Features > Visual Studio 2015 > Change1.
2. Select Windows and Web Development > Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools, and check the box next to it1.
If this doesn’t work, you can try installing the Microsoft RDLC Report Designer from the Visual Studio Marketplace1. Here’s how:
1. Go to Tools > Extensions and Updates.
2. Choose Online then search for Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual studio and click Download1.
3. Close Visual Studio to start the installation1.
After the installation, you should be able to see the Report and Report Wizard in Visual Studio 20151. If you still encounter issues, it might be helpful to try these steps on a different computer or consider reinstalling Visual Studio 20152. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. ??
