Re: [Summary-Talk] comparing reports automatically

[Thomas Waters <rxweb+@xxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to do something similar.  I'd  like to identify 7 areas within 
the entire  site (these could be made into subreports) and then create 
a pie chart showing the percentage of visits to each in relation to 
entire site.  So entire site 16,000; Admissions XX %, Alumni XX % etc.
