Folks, need your thoughts.
Created a dummy dimension object (string data type) in the universe. Tried the object with and without referring it to a table, in both the cases the object does not parse. It doesn't work in the report as the query throws up an error message.
"Database error: Invalid column name".
My requirement is to schedule a report as csv file that has empty columns(created for business reasons), as we know when the report scheduled as csv the report columns will be dropped. Now I need to pull them through the universe so they show up in csv. Also the same report has hardcoded columns like for eg; "London".
I need objects that I can use them in the report without any errors. Any suggestions please?
