I'm want to write a formula that conditionally uses members. Some cubes may have the member and some may not.

So if [MemberA] exists use it otherwise use [MemberB]

As soon as I reference [MemberA] in a cube that doesn't have it, error.

Is there a function that can be used to check if a member exists?

Hello,
You may use the Name property of a member.

Here is an example:
Sum(Filter([Language].[Language Code].Members,[Language].CurrentMember.Name="en"))

In your case: <...>.Name="MemberA"

Never mind, I was thinking of something else.
