This may be suitable to your question. Advanced Chart Type is XY2D. Cube view has UD8 members on the row and Time by month on the column. The UD8 members are essentially: Actual Current Year, Actual Prior Year, Budget Current Year etc. The dynamic calc for each member leverages T#POV to return the appropriate fiscal year.

    Nice solution TerryLedet . Alternatively the same can be achieved using BI Viewer component.

    • The cube view will have Scenario and Time on the columns and Account dim on the rows (really doesn't matter columns or rows as long as all 3 dims are in the cube view).
    • The data adapter => data source => Command type will be "Cube view MD"
    • The BI Viewer component will have Amount on Values Pane, Time on Arguments pane and Scenario on Series. The Account dim will become a List box filter and selection from POV not required (see pic attached)

    I personally found the BI Viewer to be easier and more flexible than "Chart components" but it has its own drawbacks
