I have a Cubemember formula that looks like the following:

Code:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube Connection",{"[Sales Agent1].[Agent Name].&[LAST NAME, FIRST NAME]","[Source].[Source Name].[All]"})


But what I would like to do is reference the name of the agent to a cell to look like this

Code:
=CUBEMEMBER("Cube Connection",{"[Sales Agent1].[Agent Name].&["&A8&"]","[Source].[Source Name].[All]"})

No matter what variation I try, nothing seems to work to get a cell reference working. I tired a CUBEVALUE formula, but it returns a number and not a name like I would like. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
I figured out a work around by putting the expression in another cell and referencing it, seems a little silly that I cant nest the text in the formula itself though.
