Hi Marcelo, 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

Yes, it is possible to remove a table if a group is empty. To perform this, the following things need to be done. 
   1. Group start must be outside a table i.e., table must be placed inside group start and end. We have modified your template document which is available in the following link - http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/142502/doc/Modified_Template2691692   
   2. Need to enable RemoveEmptyGroup property before MailMerge execution. 
document.MailMerge.RemoveEmptyGroup = true; 

Please let us know if you have any questions. 

Regards, 
Dilli babu.

Hi Marcelo,

Thank you for your patience.

While executing Mail merge with the given template, if the data(sublist) of “Job positions” merge field group is empty and RemoveEmptyGroup API is true, then all the rows of “Job positions” group is removed as expected. Please find the example project from below link,
http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/142502/ze/Sample_MailMerge-86268251
  
Could you please confirm us you expected requirement?   
1.    Remove rows of “Job positions” group alone.  
2.    Remove rows of “Job positions” group along with below highlighted table header row  .

Your solution repeat department name

I need exactly this behavior



Other solution? By code? Identify table or title name and remove?
