Using named set in calculated measure is not working

Question

Hi Techies,
I need an urgent solution. Here is my problem,
I have a product dimension which has some "n" no of products. I need to create a measure with few members from the product dimension. (e.g. Sales for laptop & mobile explicitly, out of other electronic gadgets)
I have created a static named set for some n number of products and a calculated measure in which I have included this named set as below,
CREATE SET CURRENTCUBE.[Compact]
 AS {[Dim Prod].[Gadget].&[Laptop],[Dim Prod].[Gadget].&[Mobile]} ;        
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Compact Sales]
 AS ([Compact],[Measures].[Sales]), 
VISIBLE = 1   ; 
but when I browse the cube the above measure is returning Null value. When I change the named set to dynamic, the measure is showing value but no filters(laptop & mobile) seems to be applied for that measure unless I add that named set explicitly in
the filter area.
I need a solution where I don't want to use any filters but the measure should work as expected.
Please help me with this, it is very urgent.
Thanks in advance,
Latheesh

hi Latheesh ,
I'm not sure why do you need to create a new measure .. There is a problem to aggregate a set in a calculated member . I will suggest a new member on your
Gadget dimension :
CREATE SET CURRENTCUBE.[Others_Set]
 AS {[Product].[Product Categories].[Category].&[4],[Product].[Product Categories].[Category].&[1]} ;        
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Product].[Category].[Others]
 AS Aggregate([Others_Set]), 
VISIBLE = 1   ; 
select [Product].[Category].AllMembers on 1
, [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] on 0
