Problem Note 15413: MDX COUNT function with distinct set and EXCLUDEEMPTY option will not count missing values
 |  |  |  |  |
When using the MDX COUNT function with the EXLUDEEMPTY parameter, the function is not counting missing values, even though they are specified to be included in the set.
For example, the following MDX query should return a value of 1 instead of 0:
with member measures.test as
'count(distinct(([GEOGRAPHIC].[All GEOGRAPHIC].[MEXICO],
[SALEMONTH].[All SALEMONTH].[Jan])),excludeempty)'
select {([GEOGRAPHIC].[All GEOGRAPHIC].[MEXICO],
[SALEMONTH].[All SALEMONTH].[Jan])} on 0,
[Measures].allmembers on 1 from quartermonth
Using the COUNT function with the EXCLUDEEMPTY parameter should return the same value as the DISTINCTCOUNT function, but it is not.
