chart x-axis y-axis

I'm trying to convert an old chart to Reporting Services.
We have used the same dataset for years, it is very very simple. But it seems to me that Reporting Services can't deal with this simple dataset.

My question is: How can I get create a line chart using this dataset.

The data set consists of 1 row with 96 columns (a day divided into 96 sets of 15 minutes). Each column records how many events occurs within the 15 minutes. Along the x axis I would like to display a vertical line every 4 hours. The y axis should be numbered 0 to the highest value in the results.

I could not make this dataset any more simple than it is. But Reporting Services just chokes on this.

Here is a sample of the dataset :
1 2 0 4 5 6 7 8 9 10... 96It looks as thought what I may need is to reset the dataset to look like this:
time events
00-14 1
15-29 2
30-44 0
...

The only way I could do that with the existing tables would be 96 unions.

96 Unions!
Microsoft I must say that I am not so impressed with reporting services. Dragging fields to a myesterous chart "category" or "series" was dumb to begin with.
