Zeros in invalid dimension intersections

Question

Hi all,
I'm perplexed with a case, when a method writes zeros to invalid intersections, and I can see them in a data grid. The method is like this:
Sub Consolidate()
If HS.Value.Member = "[Parent Total]"  Then Call Cons_1
End Sub
Sub Cons_1()
Set objDataUnit = HS.OpenDataUnit("V#[Elimination].A{Accs.[Base]}")
lNumItems = objDataUnit.GetNumItems
For i = 0 to lNumItems-1
  Call objDataUnit.GetItem(i, nmAcc, nmICP, nmC1, nmC2, nmC3, nmC4, dtData)
   If nmC2 <> "xxx" Then Call HS.Con ("V#[Elimination].C1#" & HS.Custom1.UD1(nmC1) ,-1,"...")
Next
End Sub
Do you have any idea why this method gives 0 on V#[Elimination] for E#Entity, but this intersection is invalid because Elimination value should use nodes instead of entities? I  output to log file that this procedure writes 0 to such intersection. And I see it in a grid.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Mary,
Regarding my example, it was a copy paste mistake.
I believe that the reason of the extra zeros is the string: HS.Custom1.UD1(nmC1). If I have understood correct your rule, my way of writing the rule would be similar to:
If HS.Custom1.UD1(nmC1) = "nmC1" and nmC2 = "xxx" Then
     Call HS.Con ("V#[Elimination]" ,-1,"...")
End If
In other words, you must remove the UD1 from the Con command.
