So, what would the output look like?
For instance, you've got these two lines at the top:
SKU Dept Col1 Col2 Col3
------- ------ ------- ------- ------
1 1 1 2 3
2 1 2 3 4
If we group by dept, then how do I handle those two rows? Which SKU
would be the right one? Would the answer be
((sum(col1)+sum(col2))*sum(col3)) ??
