Top Count in SmartView Data Filter

Question

I'm trying to do a Top Count data filter in SmartView. I can get it to work in MDX no problem but I get the following error when I do it in SmartView:
"Cannot query members by name. Analytic Server Error(1007116): No dimension is tagged as Time dimension for virtual time series."
Do I have to have a dimension tagged as Time in order to use this function in SmartView?
Thanks,
Tim

You can try this code:
USE tempdb
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.Car
(CarMake NVARCHAR(100),
CarModel NVARCHAR(20),
RedColorCount INT,
BalckColorCount INT ) ;
GO
INSERT dbo.Car
VALUES
( N'Maruti' , N'VXI' , 10 , 25 ),
( N'Maruti' , N'LXI' , 50 , 45 ),
( N'Maruti' , N'ZXI ' , 17 , 28 ),
( N'Maruti' , N'VDI' , 18 , 8 ),
( N'Maruti' , N'ZDI' , 25, 96 );
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTopCar( @NRows INT )
RETURNS TABLE AS RETURN
SELECT
CarMake ,
CarModel ,
RedColorCount ,
BalckColorCount
FROM dbo.Car
ORDER BY RedColorCount DESC
OFFSET 0 ROW FETCH NEXT @NRows ROW ONLY
GO
SELECT *
FROM dbo.GetTopCar(3);
SELECT *
FROM dbo.GetTopCar(5);
DROP TABLE dbo.Car ;
GO
