How to combine revenue data on a same chart using the same axis

Question

Hi folks:
   I'd like to create a chart like below... It's weekly revenue data from 2012, 2013 and 2014. I'd like to show all data using the same  X-Axis so that people would easily tell if it's going up or down... Do I have to create a MDX query for
this purpose? I tried to create it using excel and it always comes with year information which prevents from using the same X-Axis
Thanks

Cat_CA,
You can either create a calculated measure int he cube or in the excel. and send it your users. they see that measure ( Last year, before Last year) as regular measure. ask them to select this year in the filter and drag and drop the last year , this year
measures. A little training will solve this and they don't have to know the MDX.
the other way around is..  i created "relative dates" (view) as dimension. it will have members like
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[V_OLAP_DIM_RELATIVE_DATE]AS
SELECT     - 1 AS RELATIVE_DATE_KEY, 'Current Date' AS RELATIVE_DATE_NAME
UNION
SELECT     900, 'Calendar Same Day Prior YR'
UNION
SELECT     1130, 'Calendar Current Week'
UNION
SELECT     1140, 'Calendar Same Week Prior YR'
then, you need to add some calculations to the cube,
Scope(
[Date].[Day Name].[Day Name].Members,
[Relative Dates].[Calendar Same Day Prior YR]
this = (ParallelPeriod([Date].[Calendar Week Hierarchy].[Year], 1, [Date].[Calendar Week Hierarchy].CurrentMember));
End Scope;
this will calculate the last year sales and display it.
