Relevant background before I get into my request.
• I am working with multiple large trees with lots of data. So, getting trees into tables is very helpful for analysis.

• I agree it would be preferable if we had options on the place name format as we do date formats.

• To get most of what I want, I could use the Custom Report with string manipulation to parse the place name and dates. The biggest problem that I have in my request is parsing the place name into 4 parts.

• Every fact has a “date” and “place". But every fact "actually" has a “date” and two “place”s. The first “place” is the place name as of the time of the event. (e.g. Kingdom of Barvaria or Cabell County, Virginia, United States) The second “place” is the place name today. (e.g. Germany, Cabell County, West Virginia, United States). Both are useful. I prefer the former and will eventually convert my place names to “time of the event” place names. It is more important to be historically contextually accurate.

To answer your question directly:
Is this something you would want per person? Yes.

Here is how I see it working. This may be a different custom report instead of place report.
1. User would select all people or subset of people in tree.
2. User would select all Facts or subset of facts used in tree.
3. Hit Run and it would produce a report similar to the attached.

I guess it won't allow a CSV attachment.

So to describe it; it would be a matrix with the following columns:
1. Name
2. Fact
3. Year
4. Month
5. Day
6. Country
7. State
8. County
9. Area
10. Description

It is similar to your custom report, but I am wanting the dates and places parsed into a useable table format.
Thanks
Bud
