Conditionally hide data freeing the space

I know how to use conditions to conditionally hide components. I use a condition on a Panel to hide data if the condition meets.

When using a Panel containing the data to hide I have the issue that the space the Panel occupies still remains as empty space. I want to just let the Panel disappear without it occupying space.

I know that I can use a Data Band instead, which would free the space if it is disabled in the condition. But when the data I want to hide is already inside a Data Band, I apparently cannot use another one for the hiding purpose.

Does someone know how I can achieve my goal?

I found a workaround in the meantime. I use a Panel inside the outer Data Band, and inner Data Bands inside the Panel. When setting conditions on the inner Data Bands that disable them, the space is freed.
