It would probably be helpful if you showed folks what the sales table looked like.

As a side bar, I thought SSAS was supposed to make stuff like this easy to do.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
