table.rows() shows no data for custom columns and that data cannot be accessed
table.rows() shows no data for custom columns and that data cannot be accessed

Setup:
Setup a table with 6 columns for data from your data source.
You hide some/few of the columns, then create additional columns that generate content from the hidden columns.
Problem:
The values displayed in the columns with the generated data are not accessible via rows(), columns(), anything.
Question:
Is there some way to access those generated values during refreshes to do something with them?
I have searched for days now looking for an answer to this and neither this site nor a google search yields any useful results.
