Have you looked into using the Excel reports under the Dashboard? You first create a SQL query to gather the data from the QC database, then you can manipulate the data and how it is displayed in Excel. Don't forget you can use parameters in the query to delineate timeframes, etc if needed.

You can also use the Graph Wizard in the Dashboard if you want to create a graph to illustrate your results. You can narrow the data you want displayed by using the Filters and Cross Filters. If you are planning to create a chart in Excel you will need to use some basic SQL to create your chart. If you need some practice with SQL (http://www.sqlcourse.com/index.html) this is a great site for learning and practicing. Here is a simple graph that I use I one of my projects.

select b.tc_test_id, c.TS_NAME, c.TS_USER_04, b.TC_STATUS from cycle a, testcycl b, test c
where b.tc_cycle_id = a.cy_cycle_id and b.tc_test_id = c.ts_test_id
and a.cy_cycle ='January 2012'

TC_TEST_ID TS_NAME TS_USER_04 TC_STATUS
