Answer Posted / mohanakkireddy16

First i need to know,
1. is it a relational or Dimensional Package
2. about your Time Dimension

See, in go Sales Query Package, its easy.
Firstly, Create a crosstab report where product will be on rows year on column and revenue on measure. (Assume this as (Query 1)), Create a value prompt - USE value & Display Value is "Month" Query Item. - (Assume this as (Query 2))

Create a detail Filter as [Sales (query)].[Time].[Month] = ?Month? in (Query 1).

Unlock the Cells. then Drag Layout Expression to left side of the " <#Year#> " and then drag Month Parameter into the expression and then click ok .

Give some Default value for that value prompt like March.
