I've spent an unfathomable amount of time trying to achieve similar. In the end, I installed NDOUtils and built some rough scripts to interogate the database pulling stats based on (for my needs, but it could be altered) hostgroup and working out availability.
For stuff that's not my fault, e.g. customer issue such a power onsite, we schedule downtime. Downtime within scheduled downtime is not counted in the availability report. An added complication is that if you enter a downtime period in the past (i.e. retrospectiove downtime at some point after the event when you've correctly established blame) Nagios does not add it to the NDO database - I had to scrip up something to parse the nagios log files from the command submission for the downtime period and manually add these periods to the database myself prior to reporting.
