Creating Multi-use hierarchy or display of profit centers

Question

Good evening!
I am trying to create a per unit report by profit center for my system.  I have multi acute care facilities that all use the same first four digits for their profit centers.  My report currently has multiple columns of data by profit center, see below
.....................Stat Actual.....Stat Budget........Rev/Stat Actual.....Rev/Stat Budget          
12340001......10.....................15......................100.........................150
12440001......7........................5......................110.........................175
When I change the company code from 0001 to 0010, I get the data for the profit centers under company code 0010.  What I want to do is display the two individual profit centers and then add those two profit centers or a range of profit centers (1234 - 1244) for any company code and display a total, like below
.....................Stat Actual.....Stat Budget........Rev/Stat Actual.....Rev/Stat Budget          
12340001......10.....................15......................100.........................150
12440001......7........................5......................110.........................175
Lab Total......17.......................20.....................105.........................167
or if I select company code 0010, it will display as follows:
.....................Stat Actual.....Stat Budget........Rev/Stat Actual.....Rev/Stat Budget          
12340010......10.....................15......................100.........................150
12440010......7........................5......................110.........................175
Lab total .......17......................20....................105.........................167
Any thoughts on how to create this structure?
Thanks

Hi.
So basically, you want to make a selection on the profitcenters and  keep it constant, while displaying what is posted on this/these profitcenters across a selection of company codes?
You can do this with a variable for profitcenter and a variable for company code. But I would consider fixing the profitcenter keys by removing the last four characters, which represent the company code. Assuming the controlling area (the compund key of profitctr) for any one profitcenter is the same in each company code, you dont have to worry about the controlling area. If it's different for each comp code (so, maybe the last four digits in the profitcenter keys also represent controlling areas??), you can create a variable for controlling area instead of comp code.
If you cant do it by controlling area, because the different comp codes are in the same area, then put the last four digits of the profitcenter keys in the comp code and make a variable on compcode and one on profitcenter and select on both. Put both chars in the rows (pctr, cc) and you get the breakdown you want.
