Filter in queries on 2 Char's

Question

Hello Team,
                    We have a situation where in we just need to exclude  a combination of Country and  Brand  in the query designer. we cannot change this in the cube as we are only asked to see the possibility of doing this in the query Designer.
We have 10 Countries data in our cube with various Brands. But, now, we need to exclude from the report U.K (Country) and   123 (Brand).  The users still want to see other Brands of U.K and also all Brands of other 9 countries including Brand 123.
So, we just need to filter the combination of 2 Char's...i.e  U.K+123. We have Country in the Rows and Brand in Free characteristics of the query designer.
Is there a way, we  can do this filter (Exclude) and if so, how is that we can do this.
Thanks.
