Pivot Table Breaks and Programming

Here's what I need to do... I have to create a pivot chart that breaks down the data about 4-5 times. At each break, I want to total/average the columns (which is very easy to do) and also show a the percentage of one totalled column as compared to the break above it.

Example:

Code:
GroupA  DeptA   SkillA    $10    %50
                SkillB    $10    %50
                Totals:   $20    %20
        DeptB   SkillA    $80    %100
                Totals:   $80    %80
        Totals:           $100   %100
So in groupA, deptA spends %20 of the total, and in deptA, skillA accounts for %50 of the total.

I've tried Price/Sum(Price, Group), but that just gives a percentage based on group. I need a variable break... so for the skill I need:

Price/Sum(Price, [Group, Dept])

For the dept total:

Price/Sum(Price, [Group])

So... first, is there a way to tell the column that you are currently in? That way I could just run a loop and create the second argument dynamically. Second... is there a Brio variable that automatically has the breaks in it? So I could just do something like:

Price/Sum(Price, BrioBuiltInBreaks)

?

Thanks for the help
