How can I create a helper sheet that reads totals from multiple reports

I need to create a 'helper sheet' sort of like a metrics that will collect multiple counts from multiple reports so that I can chart it easier in my dashboard. I currently have 60 reports which each have 3 counts on them, meaning that each one would need to be charted individually. I would like to be able to create a 'helper sheet that has a live copy of these figures all in one location so that I can create a stacked bar graph that shows the same data in one large graph. I know with sheet to sheet you can do cell-linking, or some community posts have suggested the index/match but I am finding that all of these only look at sheets and not report. I have tried pulling all the data I need to into 1 report but it will not allow me to group the data as needed. (Too much information).

Are there any helpful tips for accomplishing this?
