Tero,

Is that a crosstab or a table?
is the visibility expression on the data item?
if( row["colData1"] <= 0){
true;
}
Also verify that the column binding (In the binding tab) is actually an
integer.

Hello Jason + thanks for responding,

Your Qs:
> Is that a crosstab or a table?
table
> is the visibility expression on the data item?
yes
> column binding integer?
yes

In the meantime I am using a workaround, which is not elegant + prone to generate other kind of errors? because it needs more code on the front-end...

in the data field (Data Binding):
dataSetRow["colData1"]>0?dataSetRow["colData1"]:null;

and since I have an Aggregation (Sum) on that column in the "Aggregation Builder" Expression field:
row["colData1"]==null?0:row["colData1"];

Not nice but producing what's requested.

Very strange if you see the attached pictures that the Preview works but the Viewer not ...

Any idea why?
Is it still possible to get the "visibility feature" to work?

Tero,

Can you reproduce the issue with the sample data and post the report?
