hiding columns in a repeating table

[Paulo Gafanha]

Hi,

I need to hide some columns in a repeating table based in the value of a
field.

How can i do that?

I tried to edit the view1.xsl but i haven?t much knowledge with XSLT.

Thanks,

Hi Paolo.

All you need to do is go into the properties of the repeating table and put
in conditional formatting.

Set the conditions you want hidden and this will dynamically hide these rows.

Hi,

I need to hide columns, not rows. I Know i can hide rows with conditional
formatting.

Appreciate your help.

Sorry for mis reading that.
I do not think there is a way to dynamically change the table like this but
you can make this functionailty appear to the user.
You would need to add conditional formatting to the fields themselves.
You my want to merge your columns if you want to completely give the
impression of the column disappearing.
You can use expression boxes to contain the labels, column seperators so
that these can be hidden as well.

Hi again,

This is precisely what i want to do, but i don´t know how to merge columns

You my want to merge your columns if you want to completely give the
impression of the column disappearing.

and i can't put simple text in a expression box, can i? it has to be XPath

Thanks for all your help.

Just make one or several columns, whatever works, and then put the fields
side by side. As one is hidden the others will justify to the right.

In the Expression boxes. You cannot create the box initially with Text for
some reason but afterwards go into properties and switch it to text. Then
copy and paste to create more text labels that can also be hidden.
