filemaker pro 13 need to copy report results to a permanent table

I Have a layout that runs sub-totals (using a summry field) of a number of account classes items

Bookeeping 100.00
Office 550.00
supplies 312.00

with the numeric being the summary field of the accounting_class

I want to use them in a spreadsheet and think I need to store them in a new Permanent table

so I made a table called - summaries with record, account and total

Not sure how to script this to take the class-figures from the first report (layout) and loop them into new records in the second table - I see google stuff on exporting - importing etc but it seems like there should be a simple scripting method to do this - need the summary field results written to a permanent record in a single table

Any help, simple examples etc? Filemaker pro adv 13

Thanks - sorry for the delay - we used this methodology with summary files and got what we needed. Lost track of time and would like to accept this solution
