GROUP BY and populating temp table, ideas?

Hello All,
I have the following table, and want to create a report as seen below.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Sales] (
[ACTIVITY_ID] [varchar] (16) NOT NULL ,
[CREATED_BY] [varchar] (10) NULL,
[YEAR] [varchar] (9) NULL ,
[PERIOD] [varchar] (2) NULL ,
[WEEK] [char] (1) NULL ,
[AMOUNT] [varchar] (3) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
I need to see count(*) of each rep for each w and current preriod.
Something like this:
REP_NAME W1 W2 W3 W4 W5 Period(Month)
======== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =============
DAVID 5 10 5 20
WILLIAM 2 8 5 15
JANE 10 2 10 22
Do I need to run seperate group by's for each w and populate a temp table
?
Or there can be a simpler way to do that?
Thanks,
Ada
