title: inserting an artificial column in mdx query
body: <p>from some reasons I need to insert an artificial(dummy) column into a mdx expression. (the reason is that i need to obtain a query with specific number of columns ) </p>
  
  <p>to ilustrate, this is my sample query: </p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT {[Measures].[AFR],[Measures].[IB],[Measures].[IC All],[Measures].[IC_without_material],[Measures].[Nonconformance_PO],[Measures].[Nonconformance_GPT],[Measures].[PM_GPT_Weighted_Targets],[Measures].[PM_PO_Weighted_Targets], [Measures].[AVG_LC_Costs],[Measures].[AVG_MC_Costs]}    ON COLUMNS,
  ([dim_ProductModel].[PLA].&amp;[SME])
  *  ORDER(  {([dim_ProductModel].[Warranty Group].children)} , ([Measures].[Nonconformance_GPT],[Dim_Date].[Date Full].&amp;[2014-01-01]) ,desc)   
  * ([dim_ProductModel].[PLA Text].members  - [dim_ProductModel].[PLA Text].[All]) 
  * {[Dim_Date].[Date Full].&amp;[2013-01-01]:[Dim_Date].[Date Full].&amp;[2014-01-01]} ON ROWS
  FROM [cub_dashboard_spares]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it is not very important, just some measures and crossjoined dimensions. Now I would need to add f.e. 2 extra columns, I don't care whether this would be a measure with null/0 values or another crossjoined dimension. Can I do this in some easy way without inserting any data into my cube?</p>
  
  <p>In sql I can just write Select  0 or select "dummy1", but here it is not possible neither in ON ROWS nor in ON COLUMNS part of the query.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much for your help,</p>
  
  <p>Regards,</p>

  <p>ps: so far I could just insert some measure more times, but I am interested whether there is a possibility to insert really "dummy" column</p>
