one of the most frequent requests i get is to create XY report for YZ App. This apps are normally built on php, so far i have manually created most of this reports, and while I enjoy the freedom of building it like i want, it usually becomes pretty tedious to calculate subtotals,averages, exporting to different formats etc.
What solutions are out there (free/OSS preferred) that help me get this repetitive tasks cranking?

- im talking about reports/summaries from sql data. Many times from DBs not designed for reporting use.
- while im aware of "business-intelligence" we're not ready to implement a full scaled "intelligence" structure, looking more for a helper of sorts...
