  Pivot Report seems like an awesome extension which I'm definitely going to explore further but I was wondering why it covers the following CiviCRM entities but *not* Contacts:
  
  * Activity
  * Case
  * Contribution
  * Membership
  * Prospect (if Prospect extension is installed)
  
  I appreciate the extensions developers can't get to everything but I'm just puzzled why Contacts wouldn't be prioritised over, say, Case. **Does anyone have any insights on this?** For example, having Pivot Report for Contacts would allow one to monitor month-over-month trend in contact counts broken out by different subtypes.
