Case Statement && View

I am executing a case statement list below,

USE Northwind

SELECT
MONTH(OrderDate) AS OrderMonth,
SUM(CASE YEAR(OrderDate)
WHEN 1996 THEN 1
ELSE 0
END) AS c1996,
SUM(CASE YEAR(OrderDate)
WHEN 1997 THEN 1
ELSE 0
END) AS c1997,
SUM(CASE YEAR(OrderDate)
WHEN 1998 THEN 1
ELSE 0
END) AS c1998
FROM Orders
GROUP BY MONTH(OrderDate)
ORDER BY MONTH(OrderDate)


According to BOL I should be able to save this query as a view.
However when I try to save the query as a view I get a error message
stating

"View definition includes no output columns or includes no items in
the FROM clause"

According to what I have read although the case statement is not
supported via the enterprise query pane, the query should still run
and be saved. In my case however I cannot seem to save it no matter
what I try.

Can anyone shed any light on the matter?

Thanks in advance
