First, last date in Failure Report already exists (as COL and SORTBY and
FLOOR).
I want to add an interface that allows you to make a report from an item I
don't know about. Even that is very hard. And that wouldn't cover either of
the two things you want to do.
Any interface of the sort you're talking about that I can imagine would
simultaneously be insufficiently flexible for the users and much too
complicated to program. But maybe I'm just not imaginative enough. :)
