You could start with a standard Calendar/Date table and then add the Fiscal Month, Quarter, Year etc.

Here's [/url]a basic Calendar table

This one[/url] might be good for a Calendar dimension...

but the "best" calendar table is the one with the attributes that you need.

Thanks.

I think I found one that is pretty good - has fiscal dates (Quarters/Year end, etc)
