Filter Dimension over DateRange

Question

with member measures.[dummy current] as count(Nonempty(extract([Case Service].[Case Service ID].[Case Service ID].Members,{[Month ID].[Month ID].&[201401]: [Month ID].[Month ID].&[201404]})
,[Measures].[Outcomes Count]))
member measures.[dummy YTD] as count(Nonempty(extract([Case Service].[Case Service ID].[Case Service ID].Members,{[Month ID].[Month ID].&[201401]: [Month ID].[Month ID].&[201403]})
,[Measures].[Outcomes Count]))
SELECT NON EMPTY { measures.[dummy current], measures.[dummy YTD] } ON COLUMNS,
[Consultation Type].[Consultation Type Display Name].children on rows
FROM ( SELECT ( { [Account].[Account ID].&[12345] } ) ON COLUMNS
FROM [dsvDM])
hello,
I'm trying to do custom calculation for the measures above but no luck, does anyone know how to filter a dimension values from a date range?
The Main intention of the above query (in simple English) would
be
count(caseservice_id) when month_id between 201401 to 201403 as current
count(caseservice_id) when month_id between 201401 to 201404 as YTD
Where case service and month_id are dimensions.

Hi Naveej,
I used an approach similar to what Mosha describes in this blog post. http://sqlblog.com/blogs/mosha/archive/2007/11/22/optimizing-count-filter-expressions-in-mdx.aspx I've
tried to structure the MDX query below in the same order that I'd attack the problem. Reply back with questions if the approach is not clear and I'll try to answer them if I get a chance.
WITH MEMBER [Month ID].[Month Id].[All].[First Quarter] AS
Aggregate( { [Month ID].[Month ID].&[201401]: [Month ID].[Month ID].&[201403] } )
MEMBER [Month Id].[Month Id].[All].[Year to Date] AS
Aggregate( { [Month Id].[Month Id].&[201401] : [Month Id].[Month Id].&[201404] } )
MEMBER [Measures].[Has First Quarter Outcomes] AS
IIf(
( [Measures].[Outcomes Count], [Month Id].[Month Id].[First Quarter] ) = 0,
NULL,
1
MEMBER [Measures].[Has YTD Outcomes] AS
IIf(
( [Measures].[Outcomes Count], [Month Id].[Month Id].[Year to Date] ) = 0,
NULL,
1
MEMBER [Measures].[dummy current] AS
SUM(
{ [Case Service].[Case Service ID].[Case Service ID].Members }
, [Measures].[Has First Quarter Outcomes]
MEMBER [Measures].[dummy YTD] AS
SUM(
{ [Case Service].[Case Service ID].[Case Service ID].Members }
, [Measures].[Has YTD Outcomes]
SELECT {
[Measures].[dummy current],
[measures].[dummy YTD]
} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {
[Consultation Type].[Consultation Type Display Name].[All].Children
} ON ROWS
FROM [dsvDM]
WHERE (
[Account].[Account ID].&[12345]
