Temporary Entity
Just like we have temporary cubes in procedures sometime we need dummy entites of one or two members may be more depending upon calculations, so like temporary cubes how about having temporary entites??

That would be really great - had the same idea a couple of weeks ago.

Team, One use case that I can think of is the ability to use Time functions on the cubes which have only one of the Time entities as the dimension. In such scenarios, we need to create cubes and add dummy entities just to calculate time functions and then roll up the cube data into cubes with just the Time entity. The ability to perform such calculations without adding a dummy entity to the model would be helpful.
