I know that @mwra and @eastgate will step in and provide much better info and solutions than the rest of us can, but I suggest you get familiar with the Crosstab view, with CSV export, which is simpler than HTML, and the other quick export features. Also, if you could post a sample Tinderbox file with non-private or anonymized data for the forum readers to experiment with the kind of data you are working with, it might help the dialog.
Thank you for your service, @DMV
