Column Visibility in SSRS - reporting-services

I am using SSRS 2012 for my report. I want to hide certain columns in a report. I don't want to see spaces between columns in my report when a middle column is not visible. I have an expression that hides or make visible a certain column base on the value selected.=IIF(CBool(Parameters!Column.Value)=True,True,False)
But the issue I have with this is that I see spaces between columns in the table when the report is rendered.
In the image below, I want to be able to hide the Code column at the middle of the table without seeing any gap between columns in the table. Thanks for the help.

I'm assuming that you highlighted the Code column and then added the expression to the Hidden property in the Properties Pane?
Try right clicking on the column, selecting Column Visibility, and then entering your expression in the box under the 'Show or hide based on expression' radio button. This should collapse the column and not leave any whitespace when your parameter is set to true.

Is there any way to hide the very first label row of a tablix in SSRS?

Is there any way yo hide the part of the tablix that tells you what the column names are and only shows the numbers?
So in this table, hiding the first row with all the text and only having the second row with all the numbers.
It’s pretty straightforward, as you do not have any condition to hide and show column headers you simply wish to hide them. Try below settings will help you
Right click on the row where column name is printed
2. select row visibility
3. click on 'hide row'
That’s it, it will hide column.
Below link for reference.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-builder/hide-an-item-report-builder-and-ssrs?view=sql-server-2017
Now if you wish to hide based on some condition try below settings.
Right click on the row where customer name is printed
2. select row visibility
3. click on 'show or hide based on expression'
4. click on expression button and enter your expression
=iif(count(Fields!TranNumber.Value,"Customer")=0,true,false)
Note : In the above expression, replace the "Customer" with the name of your group.
You can go to the Tablix's Properties and in the Grouping section, select Advanced. Under Row Groups, select the first Static row. The Tablix Member should be in the Properties window and set the Hidden Field to True.

Add a page to SSRS report

I want to add a page to SSRS report, which can be toggle on/off based on a radio button selection.
The reason I want to add a page is so I can add additional report logic information for the functional users. Is it possible to add a page (with several text boxes) in SSRS report and show/hide based on parameter value?
NOTE:* One approach I could use is to add a rectangle and control its visibility via parameter. However, when hidden, it leaves a blank space behind. Is there a way to get rid of this blank space?
You can do this with a table component. Add a detail row and a footer row and set the dataset to read from SELECT 1=1. You can put a rectangle in the rows and build out your report in the first row and then optionally show/hide the footer row.

Conditional Visibility of rows in SSRS 2008

I'm very new to SSRS 2008.Here is my problem/question.
I have 15-20 check boxes in the web interface on which the report is based on.I gave ID values to all the check boxes and passing the values of the selected checkboxes into the table so that I can get them on the report side.
On the report side,if a check box is not selected I've to hide that row.For instance if the column name on the table(REPORTCRITERIA) is LOCATIONS and if it has values (1,2,3).This means that checkboxes 1,2 and 3 are selected.how do I query that so that I can accomplish what I want?
Please help.
Thanks,
Praveen.
In Report Designer, left-click the detail row, choose Row Visibility from the context menu, and use an IIF(Condition, True, False) for Hidden, meaning if the Condition holds the row will not be visible.
Example that shows a specific text box ONLY on the very last page of the report:
Visibility / Show Or Hide based on an expression:
=Globals!PageNumber < Globals!TotalPages
The expression HIDES the text box element only when this expression is true, and it will UNHIDE (show the element) when the expression turns FALSE.
Hope this helps,
If not, drop me a line or two.

SSRS - how to check if a row is toggled or visible?

I have a drill-down report in SSRS 2008 and I want to do some conditional formatting on the main row. For example, if it's not toggled add a different background color and different border.
I haven't been able to figure out how I can check if the current row is expanded or not using an expression.
There is a trick(check the result to see if it's ok for you. this solutions leaves a small space when the group is expanded) :
Add an extra column at the left for expand collapse.
Add a second row in the group with color.
Set expand/collapse only to the first row textbox
In the expand/collapse column set the second row textbox visibility to hidden.
Set the first controls(only at the textboxes) visibility to visible and the second to hidden, except the column with expand collapse. Set the first row textbox as the toggle item
Set both rows height to 0 (althought is will be automatically set to a very small value)
Now your report should look like the image below

How to hide one row in a rowgroup?

I have a report in SSRS 2008 that has the following structure:
List
Tablix
Row Group
Row1
Field
Row2
Subreport
Is it possible to completely hide the first row in the row group, based on some condition?
I can hide the row, but the empty row still takes up space, I want the empty row to take up no space at all.
Part of the answer is given in the discussion that this question links to:
Try to set the Hidden property of the Static Row Group under the Details Group, in this case the whole row will disappear instead of the content of the textboxes.If you are using Report Builder, you need to switch to Advanced Mode (make sure that the Properties and the Grouping windows are displayed, go to the upper right side of the Grouping window and press the black triangle), click on the second "Static" item under the "(Details)" group and you can set the Hidden property on the Properties window.
However, this causes an exception when trying to export the report as PDF.
you can write an expression for the visibility of row.
