Answers.Text: I love it! I'm pretty excited about this. I've [worked with d3 before](http://weownit.org.uk/privatisation-people-vs-politicians) (though not dc) and think it's fab, and I love the freedom to write some SQL! When I've figured it out I'll post back what I did.

Body: <p>The "Donor Report (Summary)" produces pie charts, however these seem to be only by date, even if I choose group by Financial Type.

  <p>The "Donor Report (Detail)" allows me to summarise the data in a text format - the data I want is in the headings; I can't find a way to have only this displayed, or in a pie chart.</p>
