[Paraview] SpreadSheet view doesn't work unless there is PointData

[David E DeMarle]

Please add that to the bug tracker.

It is a known limitation that I thought we were going to fix but it
apparently slipped through the cracks.

The workaround (which is an unfortunate one) is to use the calculator
to add an array.
