adding information to column data

I have a report that queries a database.  I have to use employee IDs to filter the report.  I need to add names to the IDs but I do not have access to the table that links the ID with the name.  How can I add this information to my ID column?

@VElequin,

 

You may simply add a calculated column.

Column =
t[id] & " "
    & t[name]
