Thanks Bill.

I'll certainly provide feedback once I have gone through thecomplete article.

But till then a few comments (feedback):

1) Yes, Step byStep is exactly what I am looking for (takes me much longer than an average person to absorb anything) andthus I hope your article will do exactly that

2) One of yourarticles (I belive it WAS yours) i.e. Creating my 1st cubeis what really helped me get into Cbes abd BI stuff and though I am still at a beginner stage, your article (Creating My First Cube) was of great help. I mean it!

So I am hoping this this article will do an equally great job in helping understand the YTD function.

I have a strong feeling that you will be coming across many questions from my side on this forum and I will be looking forward to your replies.

My advance thanks for that
