i got an issue, related the same above of using epmmember property. i have added some employees in employee dimension master data. when i checked in IP, for few employees it is showing ambiguous member id. so what i did was, i added "Epmmemberid()" around all the memeber, then i issue was gone.actually this is for one profit center selectionss1.pngss2.png.

when i changed it to another profit center selection, the lines which has on employees shows correct in excel, the remaining lines where showing: Error: invalid memeberid. screenshotd attached. kindly may i know how i need to resolve this: Ambiguous memberid issue.

If there is no data EPMMemberID will show this error! This is obvious!

You have to use IF to check content like:

=IF($A$20="";"";EPMMemberProperty(;EPMMemberID($A$20);"ACCTYPE"))

P.S. EPMMemberID will get member ID ONLY from cell in axis containing EPMOlapMemberO formula!

Yes, there is no data.. My issue is, it should blank cell instead of that it is showing:

#Error - Invalid Member Name: #Not an EPMOlapMember formula

this error message should not come in excel.

In "Options", i kept : "Remove empty and Zero Values", but getting this error messages from rows 21 onwards..

Sorry, but I see nothing in $D$21 cell on your screenshot!

Sorry, but EPMMemberID has to reference cell containing formula like:

= EPMOlapMemberO(...

Sample:

P.S. For my local settings ";" is used instead of "," in Excel formulas.
