Unable to add custom column to report

I created a new custom column under data model and in that view i can see the new column and confirm that it's being populated correctly.  Then I close and apply, which takes me back to the report.  This new custom column is not visible now for me to select and add to the report.  I know i'm missing something but cannot figure this out.Custom Column.jpgAvailableColumns.jpg

Where / how do I select ?  It's visible when transforming the data but I can't see it nor see how to ad it to the report once I close & apply

There is a wrench next to the Remove Other Columns applied steps. Click that to see the list of columns.

Hi @MikeGA 

These subsequent applied steps might have removed the custom column. Make sure that this column is also selected.
