Removing column space when hiding a column

[Paul West]

When hiding a column at runtime in a Tablix, the hidden column leaves a space. Is there any way to have the columns contract to remove the space?

Hi Paul, 

We have validated the reported problem with our latest release, but while setting column visibility the column has been hiding without creating white space. So, could you please share your issue reproducible report and product version you are using. It will be helpful for us in further validation.

Using:

BoldReports.AspNet.Core 2.1.23

BoldReports.NetCore 2.1.23

See attached zip. Column set to Hidden=True. Report shows blank column.

Hi Paul, 

 

In our both WPF and Web Report Designer we need to set the visibility for Tablix member as shown in below steps. 

Step 1: Click the advanced mode for column grouping as shown in below snap.

Step 2: Set the Visibility for Tablix member when clicking the column as shown in below snap.

Thank you! The missing piece was setting visibility in the column group. To be clear, it appears that if you select the column directly in the Tablix and set visibility, you're defining whether or not to show the data in the column cells. Setting visibility in the column group defines whether or not to show the column cells (ie. hide the column).

Hi Paul, 

 

Thanks for your update. Yes, we need to set the visibility to column group member to hide the entire column as per your requirement.
