Expanding Dimension Members Filtered by another Dimension members property.

Question

I use BPC for SAP NetWeaver 7.5.
Iu2019ve FI_ Acc dimension. And on the property FLOWTYPE, I define which FLOW types it uses.
FI Acc dimension members as follows:
Cash   (FLOWTYPE: Cashflows)
Treade Receivales (FLOWTYPE: TRflows)
Trade Payables (FLOWTYPE: TPflows)
FLOW dimension members as follows:
    Cas_flows (PARENTH1)
       Cash Openning
       Cash In
       Cash Out
       Cash from Credit
TR_flows (PARENTH1)
    TR Openning
    TR addition from sales
    TR recived
TP_flows (PARENTH1)
    TP Openning
    TP addition from purchases
    TP paid
I want to expand FI_ Acc dimension and according to its FLOWTYPE property it expands FLOWs next to it as follows:
FI_ Acc              FLOW
CASH                      Cash Openning
                               Cash In
                               Cash Out
                               Cash from Credit
Trade Receivables    TR Openning
                                  TR addition from sales
                                  TR recived
Trade Payables        TP Openning
                                 TP addition from purchased
                                 TP paid
I have one EVEXP which expands FI_Acc dimension and another EVEXP which expands FLOW dimension. On the FILTER I write [FLOW].currentmember.properties("PARENTH1")=[FI_Acc].currentmember.properties("FLOWTYPE")
I could not get the result. Where do I make mistake? Is there someone can help me on this issue?
Or is there any other way to do this?

Hi Bike,
According to your description, you want to add another dimension attribute based on the record dimension name, right? If in this case, you can use Case When statement to achieve it. Here is a sample query for your reference.
With Member [Measures].[Test]
As
Case [Product].[Category].CurrentMember.Name
When [Product].[Category].&[4].Name Then "4"
When [Product].[Category].&[1].Name Then "1"
When [Product].[Category].&[3].Name Then "3"
When [Product].[Category].&[2].Name Then '2'
Else "Null"
End
Select {[Measures].[Test]} on columns,
[Product].[Category].[Category].members on rows
from [Adventure Works]
Results
