Creating report from room layout shapes

[pwg]

I have a room layout for an event. There are multiple size tables such as 6
ft and 8 ft. I want a report to tell me the total number of 6 fts or 8 fts in
room, whether they need electricity, and size linen for table.

For each shape I have created data fields:
Electricity: (fill with yes/no)
Linen size: (fill with size such as 8 ft)
Table size: (fill with size such as 6 ft)

I have tried multiple ways of creating a custom report and can't get it to say
6 ft tables: 10
8 ft tables: 20
Electricity yes: 12
Electricity no: 15
...and so on...

The closest I got was having the column heading TABLE SIZE then a list of
all the tables under it, but there was no total.

Either I have created incorrect data fields and entries or I don't know how
to do the report. Thanks for any help.

I don't think this is possible within the current design of the reporting
tool in Visio 2007. Within the subtotals section of the report wizard you
can specify grand totals however it will not perform a tally on the
quantity column for the report.
