How to build Restricted Key figures in Universe?

Question

Hi All,
I have been trying to find a way to build restricted key figures at BO universe level.
I have gone through the best practices documents and the mdx syntax documents.
Even though building Restricted key figures at universe level is not a recommended approach, we had a requirement to achieve it.
I have tried the below possilbe ways but could succeed only half way.
Please help me and others who has been trying to build the restricted key figures at universe level by guiding us.
Eg: A restricted key figure A1 is based on a basic key figure A, with a restriction on cost element  C (detail object,cost element key)
I have built A1 with below syntax and  could get correct result in web intelligence report
Select block of  A1 measure object in designer
<Expression>@Select(Key figures\A)</Expression>
Where block of A1 measure object in designer
<FILTER KEY="[0COSTELMNT].[LEVEL01].[[20COSTELMNT]].[Value]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="ABCD/1234567"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
But when I build another restricted key figure A2 out of basic key figure A with restriction on the same cost element key field but a different value like  ="ABCD/678910".
Both A1 and A2 give correct results individually when they are dragged in a web intelligence query.
But when both of them are required to be dragged in the same query , no result comes because of the conflicting where clauses,as cost element key can't have both values at same time.
Then I tried building A1 in below ways, as mentioned in the mdx examples document
Trial 1:
Select block of  A1 measure object in designer
<Expression>(@Select(Key figures\A),[0COSTELMNT].[LEVEL01].[[20COSTELMNT]].[Value].[ABCD/1234567])</Expression>
Trial 2:
Select block of  A1 measure object in designer
<Expression>(@Select(Key figures\A),[0COSTELMNT].[ABCD/1234567])</Expression>
Trial 3:
Select block of  A1 measure object in designer
<Expression>([Measures].[D787I2PW5YTGMTKL83RWBH80W],[0COSTELMNT].[ABCD/1234567])</Expression>
All the above expressions parse OK at universe level. Trial 1 gives a database error while running the query.
Trial 2 and Trial 3 nither throw any error nor return any result for A1.
If any one has tried and succeeded in implementing restricted key figures at universe level,please provide us some inputs.
Thank You.

Hi,
this seems to be identical to this one:
Re: Condition Object for previous month data on current month input
I would suggest you close one of them as two entries asking the same is not a good idea
