Hello I would like to be able to hide Cross-tab's row header's value. I group in rows by 3 different columns and thie third one should be invisible. Unfortunately only the label can be hidden using Enabled property. The value unfortunately cannot. Would you help me to solve it? Please take a look at the screenshot.
I am using 2017.2.2 version
best regards

Hi Scoroop,
Would you like to hide only the text value in all the columns? The easiest way to do it would be to set the font colour exactly as the background colour

Not the prettiest method, but that will work in all scenarios.
Thank you,
Edward

Hello, perhaps I wasn't clear enough about the screenshot. That's what I've done - I managed to completely hide the header (as you can see the white rectangle between other headers) nad I set back and forecolor to the same value in the column. I also tried to set width to minimum (like 0.001) but this didn't work. I need some alternative

Here you go. Very simplified example. I want to hide the ID column in cross-tab but still want it to be the grouping param

Hi Scoroop,
Please find the attached report and the image explaining the steps I used there.
The brush colour is set to be transparent and the display value is removed for the data column. Ordering is done by the value instead.

Hello,
to be honest it doesn't work with my non-simplified report. I cannot set Display Value to empty. If I save the report like this the Value will be somehow transfered to Display Value later anyway (on opening the report in designer or during rendering the report). On the other hand your solution in simplified report is not what I need. I need to hide that column completely so adding a feature to hide it would be really nice.

Hello,
As a way, you can use the ProcessCell event for cells:
if (YourCondition)
e.Text = "";
Thank you.
