filters on #EMPTY values

Hi listers,

I made a report combining two queries. Q1 retrieves all items, Q2 retrieves
items with associated dimensions and measures.
Then I set a filter on one dimension and on one measure from Q2 on #EMPTY
values, to display all existing items without information on these
dimension and measure. It works fine.
But when I close and re-open my report, BO displays no row. I need each
time to remove and add again the filter on the measure.
Has anybody encountered such a problem ?

 Christophe,

 I have seen this before.  Don't know why is doesn't work, but the easy
 workaround is to define a new variable with the syntax 'if
 IsNull(<Q2_Object>) then "Y" else "N" '.  Then filter on the new
 variable value.  It will stay set even after closing.
