Demographic Reporting

Faith Murray

I'm looking for a report that breaks down the constituents by age, gender, region, etc. --- but am having trouble finding one that does the entire constituency, not just donors. The Statistical Reports only pull according to those who have donated gifts; and the Tallies reports don't break things down the way I am needing. Surely there is a report in RE for this. What am I missing?

I don't think it's you


Whenever we want to look at demographics we inevitably end up just exporting a bunch of data and use Excel, Access or even Crystal to get exactly what we want.  In my experience playing around with the data tends to get me thinking of new and inventive ways to look at the data.  We've played around in SPSS, but that's usually more than we need...

I don't think there is one single report that can give you all the pieces you are looking for.  Whenever I do analysis, there is always at least one piece missing out of this report or that report.  I always end up pulling a combo of canned reports and/or an export, depends on what details I'm looking for.  And actually, I have a series of them that I run monthly on just the giving population, and others that are annual or as needed.

Are you able to run a query with the desired output fields that you later want to calculate, if possible without duplication?  If so, you might try a pivot report (that you can run and update out of Raisers Edge), you can send me a PN if you need help.
