Thanks Deepak.

We're running SQL2K. The time dimension is calendar years. We do not have
a separate dimension for months.

Time
- Year
- 2004
- January
. ~
. ~
. ~
- ~December

I may be trying to solve a 3-dimensional problem in a 2-dimensional world
too though. We're trying to chart a series of year-month values across an
x-axis of months to show the comparisons of years across each month. At the
same time, we have a "target" value (our KPI) that doesn't change across
years. When I try to plot this in reporting services, I
<italic>could</italic> add each year as my series along with my target, but
then I get a target for each year which isn't the desirable outcome. So my
solution was to try to split the time dimension and produce year * month
measures with the months across the x-axis. I don't know if this is even
possible in SQL2KAS.

Thanks.
