Could you please give an example of how the expected result looks like 
for the above dataset? Possibly it's not my day, but I still didn't get 
what are you trying to accomplish :-)

The result of my solution was:

[["1", "100000436", "3441863", "1550663", "1161254", "951982"],
  ["1", "479903531056", "47988002622", "21360568539", "18276299303", 
"15476234490"],
  ["1", "66934", "5552", "321640438", "40297830", "0"],
  ["1", "0", "3235", "2197", "10907", "1631621"],
  ["1", "15488078", "210564267", "574075997", "2405132745", "7805716381"],
  ["1", "0", "4949", "0", "58361", "0"]]

How does the result you are expecting differ from the above one?

Cheers,
Peter
