How to Avoid wrong spell MD values at Qry selection

Question

Hi all,
The issue is at Query Selection:
We set:
Query def. Filter value selection = Only values in infoprovider
Query Execution Filter Val. Selectn = Only values in InfoProvider
I want to see only Info provider(TD) values not Master values @ Qry selection for the info object (customer)
Example
Customer MD:
CID:
John - correct name
JOKN - Wrong spell
We Don't want to delete these values.
- NO records there in cube for (CID = JOKN) and in reports with the name JOKN
I want to see only JOHN in selection not JOKN(Wrong spell).
Please tell me how to avoid wrong spell values at Qry selection level without deleting Master data.
Thanks in advance

Hello Nara,
One solution is to write customer-exit variable that will be populated only by correct values. You can archieve this by joining master data table with DSO active table
or master data table with dimension table and fact table(s).
Now restrict query with this non-input variable in restrictions and create input variable that will take place in default values.
But since it's customer master data you may encounter serious performance problems. I guess that's the reason why BEx doesn't do this by default.
