Well, if you union all the tables together, then the query would be:

SQL> select person,
  2 sum(decode( trunc(salesdate,'mon'), trunc(add_months(sysdate,-06),'mon'), amount, 0 ))"6m ago",   3 sum(decode( trunc(salesdate,'mon'), trunc(add_months(sysdate,-05),'mon'), amount, 0 ))"5m ago",   4 sum(decode( trunc(salesdate,'mon'), trunc(add_months(sysdate,-04),'mon'), amount, 0 ))"4m ago",   5 sum(decode( trunc(salesdate,'mon'), trunc(add_months(sysdate,-03),'mon'), amount, 0 ))"3m ago",   6 sum(decode( trunc(salesdate,'mon'), trunc(add_months(sysdate,-02),'mon'), amount, 0 ))"2m ago",   7 sum(decode( trunc(salesdate,'mon'), trunc(add_months(sysdate,-01),'mon'), amount, 0 ))"1m ago",   8 sum(decode( trunc(salesdate,'mon'), trunc(add_months(sysdate,-00),'mon'), amount, 0 ))"This month"   9 from ( select salesmgr_id PERSON, txn_date SALESDATE, amount from salesA

            union all
            select salesman_id PERSON, txn_date SALESDATE, amount from salesB)

That will generate that entire matrix report. Just add more columns subtracting months from sysdate to go back further and further in time...
