***SUMMARY:
How to make a pivot table (TotalAmount by Month by Category) from a list (Id- Month- Category- Amount) in FileMaker 5.5?


***IN DETAIL:

Starting from this list of records:
--ID----Month-Category-Amount
---1--Januari-------10-----28
---2--Januari--------6-----54
---3-Februari--------8-----31
---4--Januari-------10-----34

1/ How can I compute the following pivot table: TotalAmounts by Category (rows) by Months (columns)?

---------------------MONTHS------------YEAR
CATEGORY---Jan--Feb--Mar--[...]--Dec--TOTAL
---1-------104---87---90--[...]---98---1250
---2-------102---91---89--[...]---87---1343
---3-------112---98---98--[...]---90---1125
---4---------0----0----0--[...]----0------0
---5-------132--100--108--[...]--104---1258
--TOTALS---450--376--385--[...]--379---4976

2/ Is it possible to store these results in a dependent table for exportation- probably of the form:

-YEAR--CATEGORY--TOTALS_FOR_JANUARY--TOTALS_FOR_FEBRUARY-[...]
-2003---------1-----------------104-------------------87-[...]
-2003---------2-----------------102-------------------91-[...]

3/ How can I get the results for ALL rows (all possible values for Category)- including the non-used categories (e.g. category 4: total year amount = 0)?

I kindly thank you for your time and help.
