Working with SharePoint 2007 List

I need help solving an issue.

I have a list that will be used to track training progress for employees. To simplify it, the list is called Training and the following are the columns:

The Training Event X fields are of type choice with the following options:

What I am trying to do is display a bar graph with all of the Training Events on the X-Axis and the number of occurrences of Completed, Required, or N/A displayed by bars.

I am also open to just retrieving the values for use in content editor. In this case, I wouldn't use a graph. I can just display "X employees have completed Training Event 1 and Y employees are required to complete it."

I am used to dealing with SQL where you can run custom queries, however, I am trying to figure out how to do this with SharePoint lists.

Notes:

Thank you and any help would be appreciated.

If you switch the list to DataSheet view, and click the slider on the far righ-hand-side of the Datasheet grid, there are options to chart with Excel. Maybe you could use that to generate the barchart from the data?
