Thanks very much for your help - I really apprecaitate it. This enables the kind of chart I wanted to create. Unfortunately it is a very unsatisfactory solution. In Tableau it is not neccessary to create additional columns, calculated fields, or tables -- this chart format is available with one click. 

 

Moreover, this blows out the forecasting functionality, and this is a fatal flaw. Naturally I need quarterly forecasting going forward, based on three years of quarterly data. 

 

So far I find BI to be vastly inferior to Tableau -- I hope some of these features are developed but I don't have time to waste.
