Default Summing multiple departments

Hi there,

I have a problem where I have to report from a central database the
department and cost centres of each. the reporting format that I require is
like this:


Head Office
Actual Budget Varience
Accounts
Legal
HR

Basingstoke
Actual Budget
Varience
Accounts
Legal
HR

Plymouth
Actual Budget
Varience
Accounts
Legal
HR

etc etc

the Budget and Varences are already filled from existing information.
However I need to draw from a database the seperate Cost Centre costs by
Department and the database looks like:

DATE, DEPARTMENT,COSTCENTRE,ACTUAL e.g.
12/10/08, Basingstoke, Accounts, 1200
13/10/08, Head Office, Accounts, 500
14/10/08, Basingstoke, HR, 250

And I need to sum the "Actuals" into the relevant Dept Cost centres as
above. I can do it with a Pivot table but then it doesn't match to the
Budgets already there.

Does anyone have an idea what I am talking about :) and if so can you help?

Cheers

Cam
