Default correlating data from different worksheets - toughie?

Hello, Excel gurus -

I am hoping that describing this problem accurately will be harder
for me than giving advice about it will be for you :-)

All of my calculations need to be done within one workbook, but my
data is spread out over several worksheets. Some of the worksheets
contain data in this format:

(Region) (Subregion) (Amount)
1 2 $100
1 2 $400
1 3 $1000
2 1 $300

That is, each region (1 through whatever) contains several
subregions. Every row represents one transaction

There is another worksheet in this workbook, with the following columns:

Manager Region Subregion

1 1 2
1 1 3
2 2 1

That is, the second worksheet is basically a lookup table that tells
me which region/subregion each manager has control over. Most
managers control more than one region/subregion.

The Goal: what I'm supposed to do is to fill in a summary worksheet
having the following format (5 columns):

(Manager)(# Trans.) (Amount < $500)(Amount $500-100) (Amount 1000)

That is, I'm supposed to use the lookup table to find out which
manager controls which region & subregion, then summarize the data
by saying how many transactions a given manager has overseen, and
indicating what percentage of that manager's transactions were less
than $500, between $500-$1,000, and greater than $1,000 (by number
of transactions, not by total dollar value).

I am having some serious difficulty wrapping my head around this,
but I am hoping that someone here will be able to help. I am
guessing that this could be done fairly readily with a pivot table,
but there are way too many rows of data to fit onto a single
worksheet (several hundred thousand, it looks like).

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
