I'm not sure that this is what you're looking for, but if it isn't it
may just provide you with a starting point to solve it. Okay, here it
is. My function just uses a count of things, you could modify it to do a
sum of sales. I haven't tried but you could probably get the function to
generate the items too. Also, change sales_date to month, etc, and you
would need an itemSummary table with fields sold_date, item01, etc.

Anyway, this might be a starting point for you to solve your problem.
