I need to create a report that has a format like this:

Basically, the lines that read "01 TOYS" are department totals for the two lines that appear after. The "TOTAL ACTIVITY" section is the total of all departments and subclasses. Pages 2-n are one page per store. So far, this is all straight forward for me.

Where I'm stuck is getting a district (n number of stores per district) total page at the beginning. It also needs department totals and page totals.

Can I do this without having two queries in the Data model? I've thought of creating a bunch of summary and formula columns but that won't work because I won't know how many deparments there are.
