I have this MDX query:

Exists([Group].[Group Hierarchy].allmembers,
    {[Group].[Group Full Name].&[121 - Group A], [Group].[Group Full Name].&[700000 - Group C]})

... which works fine EXCEPT that it returns all of the ancestors of the specified groups as well. What I want is to return JUST the groups from the hierarchy with the specified Group Names (this is a type 2 dimension so there may be many at different levels).

Any ideas?
