Hello Apptio Community.  I am looking to take a final output table (raw, not modeled) and provide as a report for end user.  Can anyone provide direction on how to do this in Apptio Cost Transparency (version 12.9.13)?

You can add a Model step to the end of the transform pipeline to make the data available on the reporting surface, and then you can create a report using the data from that table.

Like @Jenny Franklin wrote, we need a Model step to be able to build a report.
Not sure what you mean by "raw, not modeled"​ table, @Jennifer Osage, but there is no way around ​adding the Model step that I know of.

Just add the Model step to the pipeline and please remember to create an Object ID with whatever granularity is required for the report.

I know this sounds a bit cryptic, but say you want to create a report on a specific type of devices you have in a raw table other than Servers Master Data, and that your requirement is to report by category. In the Object ID you could enter the column for the category, as opposed to the device ID. This will help contain calculation times (thanks to @Gulcin Menekse for her writings on sparseness, and for hammering the concept into my thick skull 👀👀👀❤❤❤).​
