Taking a quick look at the current code, the MonthlyBarChart is based on the month of the
finish date and doesn't use the start date.
The number of books tracked does include books started in a year, but it only counts pages, types, authors, genre and ratings if the book is finished/complete or completed and the finish year matches. (I'm not saying that is wrong as that is probably the way I would want it to work even if I had a start date).

Do you need to know which fields would be used? What I mean is - do you need to do anything special to support displaying
any string column on the dashboard?
For example, you currently have a type column which is restricted to three pre-defined types. It is fairly trivial to change this to build the dictionary based on the actual values and then display the top 10 values.
Having done that, if I point 'type' to any column, like 'author', 'series', 'format', 'Publisher' or Language it will display a graph of that usage.
The only difficult part would be that the name/title would have to be changed, rather than being hardcoded to say 'type breakdown' but from other messages that appears to something others non-english users are looking for.
I understand it may take more work with date columns, but I'm not sure how people would want that to work.
