....you can do this by using column A to summarize the data and subsequent
columns to retrieve the data from your cost centers on different sheets. You
could then add buttons to show or hide different cost centers (and their % of
total). Doing this would, in effect, allow you to "layer" your spreadsheet.

It can be a nice idea to be able to enter different types of data in
different sheets and then easily combine two or more sheets to one complete
picture, just like using transparency films (if the same cell contains data
in more than one sheet, either the most upper cell will show, or an operation
will be made).
This will enable the user to see how different areas contribute to the
overall picture. For example, in accounting, the user will be able to see how
different types of income and expenditure (each in a different sheet) make
different types of profit.
It's a kind of improvement to the "Skip blanks" option in the Paste Special
dialog box.
