How would I be able to do that in WO with EOF? Is there an easier way

Short answer: don't bother with EOF for reporting and let the
database do the heavy lifting. You can always make the resulting
data set available to EOF through your favorite database level
representation such as views, store procedures, pipelined functions
or such.
EOF is meant to shield you away from SQL, in the same way as WOF
shield you from HTTP.
But for any non-trivial DMLs, you most likely want to use SQL
directly.
One way or another, once you have your data, something like Jeff
Martin's ReportMill might be useful:

I use openreports personally. Reportmill is better if you need to
access your businesslogic inside the report, but if you just want to
turn SQL into a table, openreports is easier.
