Default Dynamic database extraction for reporting

Hi

I have a database that is to contain columns such as:

A B C
Cost Centre Code Amount
100000 100 50.00
100000 110 55.00
200000 150 100.00
300000 120 101.45
300000 140 210.00

etc (I would expect up to, say, 20-30 cost centres and a few hundred codes)

The above table would then change each month (i.e. new codes and amounts may
be added).
I would then like to create further worksheets (one for each cost centre)
that shows only the code and related amount for that cost centre.
The only ways I have done this is previously is to either manually add the
codes for the cost centre to that cost centre's worksheet or to add all codes
to every worksheet and then filter the rows with no data. The first solution
is laborious as a search for missing codes must be carried out each time; the
second works reasonably well but I end up with a large amount of lookups
which impacts on calculation perofrmance.

Is there a way of doing this dynamically?

Thanks
