I created 2 Meassures like this

Initial Status  
([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember,[Measures].[Workdays in transition status],[Transition Status].[Open])

In Progress  
([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember,[Measures].[Workdays in transition status],[Transition Status].[In Progress])

The initial alway shows empty. Unless I transtition to the next status and come back.

How can I get the workdays in the initial status?
