Analysis Tools and Multiple Filter Axis Dimension Members

Multiple filter dimension member selections impact Retrieve Only Top/Bottom.

Multiple filter axis dimension members are aggregated before being sent in a query. Because the client-based aggregation does not exist in the data source server, the query is processed in terms of the data values on the server. The discrepancy between client aggregations and server-based sorting and ranking results in irregular result sets.

Nominate only single filter dimension member selections when using Retrieve Only Top/Bottom and Restrict Data analysis tools.
