This section is the problem ....

...
SELECT 
      {
          Instr
          (
            [Dim Customer].[Customer Name].CurrentMember.Properties('Member_Caption')
           ,'H'
          )
        = 1
      } ON COLUMNS

You can only use recognized data-types on COLUMNS or ROWS ... by that I mean a member, or a set of members, or set of tuples.

Are you actually trying to do a FILTER ?

...
SELECT 
     Filter(
          [Dim Customer].[Customer Name].[Customer Name].MEMBERS,
          Instr
          (
            [Dim Customer].[Customer Name].CurrentMember.Properties('Member_Caption')
           ,'H'
          )
        = 1
     ) ON COLUMNS
