Excel Cubeformulas: return a unique member name instead of a calculation?

Excel2010, using AS cubes

As a model, I am starting from a working cubeset formula from another project:

=CUBESET("ADMX","FILTER([Customer].[Name].Members,LEFT([Customer].[Name].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME,6)=""123456"")","123456 test")

I could then use this in a subsequent cubevalue formula that included other parameters as well, to return a number.

Now I'm on a new project, with record names in the format of "######-AAAAAAAAAAA". The 6 numbers are permanent, but on occassion the alpha text is edited for better data management. We are working with historical reports, so sometimes queries return N/A because the full text string doesn't match between the historical report and the current AS cube data.

I'd like to provide the user an easy way to plug in the numeric string, and use cubeformulas to return the member name (not a calculated value). I have a working cubeset formula, but how can I use that cubeset (which I know only has the one member, since the numbers are unique in our data table)  to return the full member name?
