Problem Note 14314: The DistinctCount function may not return the correct results

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
The DistinctCount MDX function returns the number of distinct, non-empty
tuples in a set.

However, an incorrect result may be returned when using the MDX function
DistinctCount against the SAS OLAP Server. This erroneous value will
occur if a current measure has a value of missing.


A fix for SAS 9.1.3 (9.1 TS1M3) for this issue is available at:
