Thanks for the suggestions. I am adding fields now and can add my own totals if I export to a spreadsheet. This however is far from being ideal as the spreadsheet has to be created and toyed with every time an executive wanted to have visibility on the business. I am guessing if you guys added the ability to have a tick box next to customized fields then these fields should be automatically added to the opportunities managed by report for accounting visibility.
Many thanks for the continued support and suggestions.
