SAC - Calculated Dimension in Modeler

Greetings,

Does the possibility exist to create a calculated dimension in the modeler itself similar to how we can create calculated dimensions in stories?

The drawback with calculated dimensions in stories is that they are not accessible to other stories or in the excel add-in.

The drawback with calculated columns in import jobs is that if parameters are updated, a reload of historical data is needed, so it's pretty static.

Is there another option to have the following with changing attribute members and not needing to reload historical data?

1. New dimension 3 calculated based on the below logic:

  1. If attribute 1 of dimension 1 is not blank, attribute 1 of dimension 1. Else
  2. If attribute 1 of dimension 2 is not blank, attribute 1 of dimension 2. Else
  3. dimension 

Thank you for your help.
