Convert "Report" to "Chart Report"

My suggestion here is that once you get your perfect and complicated report filters that you consider making an equivalent checkbox formula field to mimic those filters.  

Then when you go to make a new report, you can just use that same single filter across several different report types.

This technique also comes in super handy if you ever need a pipeline to run through all the records on a particular report. That way you know the report and the records that the pipeline will walk-through are identical.
