Hiding table based on inner dataset number of rows [message #872441]

I have a dataset(ds_chartdata) with a chart_number, created_date and value. chart_number and created_date combination are unique on this dataset. I need to create one chart per chart_number.
How I went ahead

I created another dataset(ds_uniqueChartNumber) which gives me unique chart_number.
Created a outer table binded to ds_uniqueChartNumber with a group on chart_number.
Added a chart to the details row. Binded the chart to ds_chartdata.
Added a filter to chart wherein row["chart_number"]=row._outer["chart_number"]

This serves my requirement to create one chart per chart_number. But for some chart_number there is no data. The chart by default is not displayed. But the table is still displayed. I want the table itself to be rendered invisible if the rows for a particular chart_number in ds_chartdata has no rows. help please.

Hi,

assuming you can manipulate data and create new dataset, you can exclude chart number from ds_uniqueChartNumber when there are no data.

Are you suggesting to create the dataset (ds_uniqueChartNumber) based on data from primary ds(ds_chart). So that it automatically excludes the chartnumbers which are not required?
That is a good idea. I think I had a brain freeze to rely on birt for this simple thing. Thanks.
