Using (1) JavaScript, the QuickBase HTTP API to gather and process the raw data along with (2) the {Underscore, Mustache, jQuery} libraries you easily create custom report including arbitrarily complex summary reports. Underscore allows you to GroupBy, CountBy, IndexBy and SortBy your data with ease ; Mustache performs the templating (merging your data into a generic template) and jQuery makes it simple to place the rendered template into QuickBase pages along with any other controls, behavior or features you desire.
If you want to pursue this approach post a spreadsheet or screenshot of exactly the format of summary report you need (irrespective of what native QuickBase can do). Label the rows and columns and indicate what type of summary you want, where subtotals are to be placed and any other grouping, counting or indexing you require.
