Can I force analytics: expense by project even if not all expenses are reported and approved?

Can I force analytics: expense by project even if not all expenses are reported and approved?

I want to keep an eye on expenses for projects are they are growing, even if they are just a running total estimate.

However, I discovered I can only run analytics on submitted and approved reports.  This means I have a bunch of expenses inserted into the system but not yet "reported' or submitted and therefore I am not able to see where the running total for a project is heading.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
