I'm running into an odd issue...
I've inherited a report that was built using Visual Studio. It's going against an Analysis Services cube and the query is in MDX.
For some reason, when I view the query in Query Builder and attempt to execute the query, it throws an error. I then cancel out of Query Builder and cancel any changes. Now if I actually run the report, it runs just fine. Users have verified that the results are correct.
I've never seen this before! I've attached the query and the error message:
WITHSET [Selected Discipline] AS STRTOSET(@Disciplines, CONSTRAINED)
SET [Selected Department] AS STRTOSET(@Departments, CONSTRAINED)
SET [Selected Departments] AS IIF(@Disciplines = @Departments,

NOT INSTR([Employee].[DISC - DEPT - EMP].CurrentMember.UNIQUE_NAME, "Freelance")),

The error is:
