Hello,

in which kind of data you base your report ? Relational package ? Dimensional one ?
I did a job like you need in dimensional, and I created 1 data item per Year in Y axis:
_Year N :
total([Net Sales (local curr.)] within set periodsToDate([Daily Cube].[Time].[Year-Month-Date].[Month],currentMember([Daily Cube].[Time].[Year-Month-Date])))

_Year N-1 :
total([Net Sales (local curr.)] within set periodsToDate([Daily Cube].[Time].[Year-Month-Date].[Month],parallelPeriod([Daily Cube].[Time].[Year-Month-Date].[Year],1,currentMember([Daily Cube].[Time].[Year-Month-Date]))))




Hope it will help you

I have a similar issue. In Cognos 10.2.1 I was able to add nested categories into the charts. e.g. Year and then Month.  In CA 11.1.2 I can only add the second category (e.g. month) next to the first one (year) , but not below.  Not sure if this is a bug or there is a trick to do it.
The only was is to create the chart in Cognos 10 and then import it into CA11
