Hi all,

I'm stuck on a MDX query, I'm trying to retrieve the following results:

                          [Time].[2009]       [Time].[2010]
[Time].[Months].Members   [Measures].[Sales]  [Measures].[Sales]

So I would like to compare the sales which were in 2009 against 2010 by month.

In terms of a chart I would have two series one for 2009 and 2010, the y axis would be the sales value and the x axis would be the month.

Any ideas on how to approach this?

Thanks in advance
