Supporting Alternate Hierarchies?

[tresgatos]

Hi,
I have been tasked with providing UI support for displaying alternate hierarchies. For example, we have a test cube that has Time.Fiscal and Time.Calendar. The basic request from my customer says, "if you show me Time.Calendar then hide Time.Fiscal (and vice versa)"
Since I am looking at providing support for a number of users with different skill levels I am curious as to whether there are situations where they will _want_ to see both hierarchies (maybe on different axes in a query?).
Anyway, I am looking for different use cases/scenarios for how a user would want to see/interact with alternate hierarchies.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The only case I can think of is when looking for correlations. But I haven't thought of an example where you wouldn't be better off representing it as a second dimension on the cube and hence more obviously orthoganal.
