Question

i am including column 13 as a dummy column here:

+----+---+---+---+----+---+---+---+---+---+----+----+----+----+
|    | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4  | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |
+----+---+---+---+----+---+---+---+---+---+----+----+----+----+
|  1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
|  2 | 0 | 0 | 1 |  0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
|  3 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
|  4 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 20 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
|  5 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
|  6 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
|  7 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
|  8 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
|  9 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
| 10 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |  0 |  0 |  0 |  1 |
+----+---+---+---+----+---+---+---+---+---+----+----+----+----+

the reason i am including a dummy column is so that IF columns 1 through 12 are all zero, i would still like to include an entry for that row.

as you can see row 1 would not have been included.

this report is generated by SSRS.

i am wondering if there is a way to HIDE column 13?

is there some kind of conditional formatting i can do?

to clarify here’s my query:

select tat.*, tat.tat as tat2 from tat

it is organized in the report this way:

this data set [TAT] contains dummy data specifically for column 13

Answer 1

Specific columns in a column group can be hidden based on values with the following steps.

Right-click header of the column group you want to hide, Column Group -> Group Properties

Click on the Visibility pane and select Show or hide based on an expression radio button. Use an expression to determine when column is hidden.

True hides the column, False displays it. You will need to update the field name in my example to match your month field name.
