The Donations, Volunteer Hours and Missions Metrics by Custom Field report combines—you guessed it—donation, volunteering and Missions metrics into one easy-to-review report.
It can be segmented by any custom field you have included in your demographic data, and you can report on donation amounts in a common currency of your choosing. This comes in handy when comparing your groups globally, across all Spark experiences.

Experiment with ratio data
This particular report offers an interesting data point — ratio data. You can review what your average donation amount per donor is, or what your hours per volunteer ratios are, by segment, to get a feel for the depth of engagement from each group. This is useful data as you plan how to engage each segment during your next campaign or activities.
Example
As an example, use Address — Country as your Custom Field Name group to segment the report. When you sort the data by the donation amount per donor column, you will see the group who contributes the most dollars per individual.
Using the same grouping (Address — Country) and sorting the data by hours per volunteer, you might be surprised to see that there is a different grouping emerging at the top of the report.
