Multi Tier Chart Forumla

Hi all,
I can make a multi tear chart if I set the category axis to cells A3:C6 however I cant if I set it to this:

={"FY11","Q3","Jan 2","","","Jan 30",","","Feb 27"}

Can you please help me find a way I can type that formula so excel understands its multi tier, the reason I need to typed out is because I am creating the chart through vba.

An image of the problem is below. I want to use formula to acomplish same affect in the above:
