Now suppose you have to analyze with another axis, in addition to the
previous two axes.

Look at the following data:

data=: 0 : 0
area   model sales store
north  T2    3     1001
south  T2    4     2120
north  T3    10    1001
north  T3    5     1001
east   T1    1     3012
west   T3    1     3029
south  T2    11    2123
north  T4    2     1002
west   T3    1     3030
east   T4    1     3012
west   T4    6     3031
)
d=: (<a:;<2) ((".&.>)@{)`[`]} }. cut;._2 data


Each model is sold at a specific store which is located at a specific
area. Each store is unique and it can't belong to a multiple of areas.
However, many transactions can happen at the same store, as you see
above in the data.

What I need is the following report(it doesn't have to be pretty --
all I need is essentially the information, not the pretty formatted
report, though):

area   store    T2   T3   T1  T4
---------------------------------
north  1001      3   15    0   0
       1002      0    0    0   2
north total      3   15    0   2

south  2120      4    0    0   0
       2123     11    0    0   0
south total     15    0    0   0

east   3012      0    0    1   1
east total       0    0    1   1

west   3029      0    1    0   0
       3030      0    1    0   0
       3031      0    0    0   6
west total       0    2    0   6


Now it got quite complexed, and I wonder what is the proper approach
to this kind of problems in J.
