Filtering using equality operator

Question

I have the folloiwng MDX query:
 SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Gross Premium] } ON COLUMNS,
 NON EMPTY 
{ ([Date].[Quarter].[Quarter].ALLMEMBERS * 
[Prospect Client].[Account Number].[Account Number].ALLMEMBERS * 
[Broker].[Account Direct Broker Code].[Account Direct Broker Code].ALLMEMBERS * 
[Broker].[Account Direct Broker Code Previous].[Account Direct Broker Code Previous].ALLMEMBERS ) } 
ON ROWS 
FROM ( SELECT ( { [Prospect Client].[Account Number].&[02758] } )
ON COLUMNS FROM [Broker Premium]) 
it produces the following results:
What I want is to only show the records where the Account Direct Broker Code <> Account Direct Broker Code Previous, excluding blanks.  In the above case, i would only want to show the row for Qtr 2 - 2013.
thanks

Hi Scott ,
I am adding an example using the Filter and the NonEmpty functions to demonstrate a solution .
in my case I wanted to show only same first letter for product line and category without nulls .
Use the second code part instead lines 2-5 to achieve our goal .
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Discount Amount] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
{ ([Delivery Date].[Calendar Quarter of Year].[Calendar Quarter of Year] *
[Product].[Category].[Category]*[Product].[Product Line].[Product Line])}
ON ROWS
FROM ( SELECT ( { [Delivery Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Year].&[2008] } )
ON COLUMNS FROM [Adventure Works])
NonEmpty(Filter({ ([Delivery Date].[Calendar Quarter of Year].[Calendar Quarter of Year] *
[Product].[Category].[Category]*[Product].[Product Line].[Product Line])}
, left([Product].[Category].CurrentMember.name,1) = left([Product].[Product Line].CurrentMember.name,1) )
, [Measures].[Discount Amount]) ON ROWS
Hope it helps :)
