Portfolio report from Jira status

[Daizy N]

My Q: How do I pull in Jira issue status so that I can roll up the pages into a portfolio page? 

The end result should look like this: 

I followed the steps from Project Management Dashboard  and i got it to work but....

Instead of manually adding statuses macro to "individual report pages", can the individual pages pull the status from the Jira ticket instead?

Using rich filters and I got the desired [visual] result on the individual page (2 col table) BUT the Portfolio page doesn't seem to pull in the statuses the same way as when I used the status macros

Any ideas? Hoping someone says its possible, I just havent found the right guide yet. 

Thanks in advance!
