Display Time-Dependent Characteristic in 2different date columns (HR-data)

Question

Hello.
I want to create a specific Query on a Self-defined HR-HeadCount cube.  On this Cube I have Employee-number + characteristic values per month (e.g. PayScaleArea).  Month is my most granular level. 
The Query I want is the following :
     04.2006     05.2006
Employee/PayScaleArea
20184     5B     6
20230     3     4
20295     6A     6B
(5B, 6, ... are PayScaleArea's  e.g. 5B is Manager)
I have already filtered on the Employees who got a promotion between 04.2006 and 05.2006 (=Month.Year).  And now I whish to see the PayScaleArea listed of these Employees under 2 column headers April+May . 
If this was a keyfigure this would be standard but for a characteristic I can't get it to work.  I've already tried working with formulas (replacement path)
The problem is that it always displays like this :
              PayScaleArea
                  3     4    5B    6    6A    6B
Employee
20184     
20230          
20295     
(which is realy bad)
Or
Employee/CalMonth/PayScaleArea
20184     04.2006 5B     
20184     05.2006 6
20230     04.2006 3     
20230     05.2006 4
20295     04.2006 6A
20295     05.2006 6B
(this is correct, but not verry readable, having it in 2 columns makes it easier to compare who promoted to what)
Note: I have PayScaleArea directly in the Cube and also as time-dependent attribute on Employee => the attribute has the problem that I can only report on one key-date per query (which is specified on the header of the query) so combining multiple queries in a workbook would also be a (less desired) workaround.
Can you help me ?
Kind Regards, Carl.

Hello,
I'm affraid you do not understand my question.  You mention here one of the two 'workable' solutions (the other one being 2queries on different tabs each for a different month and then combining the 2queries on a third tab)
The report layout does not look good in this txt format so I will split it up using my original example:
The Query I want has three columns  :
1) Employee
e.g. :
20184
20230
20295
2) The PayScaleArea's of Month -1 (e.g. : 04.2006)
e.g. :
5B
6
6A
3) The PayScaleArea's of current Month (e.g. : 05.2006)
e.g. :
6
4
6B
If PayScaleArea would be a keyfigure then I could just put Employee in my rows and month + PayScaleArea in the columns and it would work perfect... but it is a characteristic and therefore it does not show up next to the employee in this case.
In a sense this is logically since BW does not know that there is only one characteristic value PayScaleArea per month and per employee.
