Well, it might be one of the summary, formula or similar columns created in the Data Model layout which doesn't belong to any group (i.e. query). It may be used to display information in (for example) report heading section (as company name etc.).

A table column, on the other hand, is result of a query (although you may create formula columns by using complex PL/SQL code which fetch data from a database table, I wouldn't call them "table columns").

EDITED after merging two topics you have opened for more or less the same subject. Please, do not do that any more - if necessary, edit your original message in order to clarify your previously asked question.
