Adding a dummy column for text in crosstab report

Question

I created a report using crosstab to show trended months per column & details per row.  Now I'm trying to add additional columns to the crosstab report to display other pertinent info (not calculations, just text pulling from the database).  I read from various threads in the forum that I can create dummy columns to accomodate this, but I don't know how to do so.  Can someone please guide me in doing so?  If creating dummy columns is not a solution, please advice on what's the best way to add text columns to a crosstab report.  Any help is truly appreciated.  Thank you.
Original report:
Emp Name     Jan     Feb     Mar     Apr     May     Total
Doe, John     20     17      30       28     33       128
Wish to accomplish:
Emp Name     Emp#     Dept#     Yrs Employed     Jan     Feb     Mar     Apr     May     Total
Doe, John   12345     6010          8             20     17      30       28     33       128

Hi Fione,
I don't have access to CR at the moment but this is how I can think of doing this:
1) Create a Subreport that points to the same table as the Main Report
2) The Subreport should return the same number of Employees and in the same order as the Main Report - you can do this by creating a group on the Emp field just like the 'Row' in the Crosstab
3) Create separate array variables - one each for Emp#, Dep# etc that accumulates values for each employee and inserts it against an index of the array
4) Suppress all sections inside this subreport and place this Subreport on the Report Header of the Main Report
5) Reduce the size of this subreport so that it isn't bigger than a dot and DO NOT suppress the section that holds this subreport
6) Insert Calculated Members in the Crosstab for each column you need
7) Use the array variable meant for the respective column. You just need to print the value at each index of the array based on the 'currentrowindex+1' function.
