    I think the problem is that you have added .MemberPk. This works for me:

    Hi BCG

    Markus is right, your MemberPk is false, you can access the MemberId directly from the Member object.

    But if you don't need the object, you can even access the id directly by using the following:

    api.Members.GetMemberId(DimType.Account.Id, "HEADCOUNT")

    Cheers

Hi, what is the member name when you log "GetUD1Ac"? Does that match 100% with the member of which you intend to retrieve the ID? It seems likely that the string returned to GetUD1Ac may be a little inaccurate and therefor cannot be found in the dimension.
