You want an MDX query instead? :-)

I'm sorry, but I can't connect the product in Earning_Dates to the
columns in undprices or products. I could make a guess, but I don't
like guessing, as it lead me to spend time solving the wrong problem.
Also, I'm uncertaing which are the "latest 6 records".
What all this boils down is the standarad recommendation that posts
of this kind should ionclude:
o CREATE TABLE statements for your tables.
o INSERT statements with sample data.
o The desired output, given the sample.
This makes it possible to copy and paste into to Query Analyzer to
develop a tested solution. Also, by providing the desired result,
we get a better idea of what you are really looking for.
