Report pulls in a primary column without me specifying it

I have a smartsheet, it has a helper column titled Full Name, which is calculated using task name and parent names.

In the report section, I select the sheet, and the specific column and criteria. but then the end results shows me a column for task name which I don't want to see. I am not sure why it is showing it to me, eventhough it is not selected. It shows up as "Primary"

Common solution is to hide it.

But why is it being pulled in to begin with?

Hi @Nikki. A

I hope you're well and safe!

The Primary column always has to be included, but it can be hidden, as James mentioned.
