Giving Pyramid in Dashboard Builder

Has anyone figured out how to build a donor giving pyramid in Dashboard Builder with the current limited attribute filters and fields that are available in Insight Builder?

We currently export a standard report for our executive team which breaks down the number of constituents with annual giving at specific levels. The table features rows of stepped committed giving levels (eg $5k - $9,999 or $10k - $24,999) with 2 columns that (1) calculate the number of donors who have given that much this year and (2) that group of donor's combined giving for the year. But leadership would like to be able to view that report in real time without waiting on our team to pull it.

I've exhausted all my "workaround" ideas so I'm wondering if anyone has had success building a dashboard with metrics like I've described above. Is there a way to do this without Insight Designer adding metrics and filters like "Gift Amount" or "Total Giving" ?

    Database has the report you are looking for in Demographic and Statistical Reports/Statistical Reports, but right now that report is not available in RE NXT where you could schedule it. But you seem to already know this.

    Like Joe I do wish all the reports from datebase view were available in the web view and oh how I wish I could get dashboards to do all the things I would like. I have access to the donor category report under analytics in the web view. I would love a preview option but I can export to .csv. Here is a screenshot of the .csv from our recent campaign:

    We have other categories based on giving category tables for other purposes.

    Here is a link to the idea bank if you would also like to vote for a preview option.

    You can schedule it to be sent to any RE user. Here are some screenshots from that process that you can find by pressing the elipses next to the report name:

    I hope this helps.
