Without knowing exactly what you are doing, why not take a look at ODBC and linking an excel sheet to your database and use the powerpivot to create your report? If you are really doing a ETL you need a tool or a programmer. I've pulled over 300k worth of records without an issue. Although the record set was not 200 columns, but I'd bet you could get down to under 50 then do calculations in excel, then pivot the data to the report.

To be clear - this is not MY choice of report, I'm trying to explain that they are using a "report" as a poor person's ETL tool to dump vast amount of data to Excel and manipulate offline. But I though I'd ask the question anyway. > How many rows are in this report?
