Solution 1 - Visual Studio-2010

If anyone is interested: Ctrl+Alt+D combo helped me.

Solution 2 - Visual Studio-2010

In Visual Studio 2013 running SSDTBI for VS 2013 the option has moved to the "View" menu, and confusingly it only shows if an actual report has focus. So click somewhere in your report, and then click "View"

Or as stated by others Ctrl+Alt+d still works, though only if you have a report focussed.

Solution 3 - Visual Studio-2010

For some reason Ctrl + Alt + D didn't work for me.

I found it under Data -> Show Data Sources...

You would think it would be under View.

Solution 4 - Visual Studio-2010

I am using VS 2010 and Ctrl + Alt + D worked for me. You have to click somewhere on the report to work this.

Similarly:

Ctrl + Alt + L for Solution Explorer

Ctrl + Alt + S for Server explorer

F4 for Properties

enter image description here

Solution 5 - Visual Studio-2010

If there's no Data in your top menu, there's no option DataSource Window to click. Luckily often Ctrl + Alt + D works.
