Hi all,

I have a row in my report which has two columns, one for the label and
another one for the data in the table.

i.e. [Label]: [FieldName]

What I am trying to achieve is to hide the complete row if no data is
returned for the [FieldName].

I can successfully achieve this column by using the visibilty hide
Element expression i.e.(row["FieldName"] == "")

How can I hide the label as well? I have tried using the same visbility
hide-element expression but it doesnt work.

Any ideas as to how to get this working?

Thank you and best regards,

Zia

Zia,

This expression should work on the row as well. Are you setting it on
the label or the row?

Hi Jason,

I have tried to set this in the row and also in the label. It seem's that
it still not working.

I have used script: if(row["FieldName"] == '[FieldValue]'){ true; } else{
false; }.

Is there any other possible solutions?

Thank you Jason for your response, greatly appreciated.

Zia,

What version of BIRT are you using? What is the data type of "FieldName"?

Also can you give an example of what you are putting in the expression.
Specificially '[FieldValue]'.

Hi Jason,

I manage to hide the row using a table, unlike before I was using a grid.

It seems that the scripts are not working if I were to use a grid instead
of a table.

Thank you very much, greatly appreciated...
