Bex Query which uses Dynamic columns to display actuals

Question

Hi Bex experts,
I have a query issue/question.
I currently have a Bex query which shows me the the planned values for each period, spanning 6 years into the future. My Key figure columns are defined as follows:
Value type  = '020'
Version  = mandatory variable, entered at execution.
Posting period (FISCPER3)  = These columns are fixed values using periods 1 to 12 for each column.
Fiscal year (0FISCYEAR) = Each column contains SAP exit for current year, and using the offset +1, +2, +3, +4 etc, when I define the future years coulmns.
Currency = fixed 'USD'.
Fiscal year variant = fixed 'Z4'
The above works fine for plan data.
I want to now include is:
Seperate 'Dynamic columns' to show only actuals for period ranges from period one to the previous period (or current period minus 1). Each period should have it's own column for actuals.
The dynamic actuals columns should be grouped together to the left of the plan columns.
Actuals are only for current year, so I will still use the SAP EXIT for current year in the column definition.
Example: If I am currently in period 10, the query should show me actuals from period 1 to period 9 in seperate columns, then continue to show me my plan values columns that I have in place already.
How can I construct these actuals columns in to my existing query. If you have possible screens shots.
Thanks, and maximum points will be alotted.

The way I have approached this you may not like as it involves quite a bit of coding
12 CKFs
each CKF adds up 2 RKFs
So 24 RKFs
example Column 6 CKF
Adds Column 6 RKF Actual and Column 6 RKF Plan
Column 6 RKF Actual contains Actual version + key figure + Period variable column 6 Actual
Column 6 RKF Plan contains Plan version + key figure + Period Variable column 6 Plan
Period variable column 6 Actual
is a cmod variable which reads the entered date
if the period of entered date is LE 6
then return period 6 into "Period variable column 6 Actual"
else put 0 into "Period variable column 6 Actual"
Period variable column 6 Plan
is a cmod variable which reads the entered date
if the period of entered date is LE 6
then return period 0 into "Period variable column 6 Plan"
else put 6 into "Period variable column 6 Plan"
Now what happens is that if you enter period 6 in your selection screen all the Actuals of columns greater than 6 all have period 0 put into their selection so return 0 and all the columns less than or equal to 6 return the values for the fiscal period (ie column 1 gets period 1)
And in addition all the Plans columns return the value of their column ie for their period for those greater than 6 and for those less than 6 they all return 0
It's convulted - but you get the idea - and yes it works
There may be a better way to do it - and I am open to suggestions
(this does assume that NOTHING is posted to period 0 otherwise it won't work)
