    Thanks Krishna. However I am looking to pass this entity list to a custom calc DM job, and would like to do it in a quicker way, without extracting data from the cube (due to data volume).

      hi shreyadg , if the aim is just having the custom calc running on some entities and not on others, why not using an if statement in the custom calc itself? You can have the DM job set to run the custom calc on all base entities, and the if condition within the custom calc would essentially make it skip the one with no data. You can use api.Data.GetDataBuffer of api.Data.GetDataCell to check if an entity has data.
