Hello Austin,

We use the hideColumn method whenever we want to hide a column in the grid. To see if the column is empty, we get the data for that column and check it.

I prepared a sample in the Kendo UI Dojo, using what you provided as a base, that shows the basic logic of this approach; you can take a look at it here.

I hope this helps!

Thank for the solution you had provided. It work perfectly. If i want to check for each data then its gonna have a lot of the if statement ?

is this is best way to do i

var disZeroes = true;
var quanZeroes = true;
 
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
   if (data[i].Discount!= null) {
      disZeroes = false;
      break;
    }
   if (data[i].quantity!= null) {
      quanZeroes = false;
      break;
    }
}
 
 if (disZeroes) {
grid.hideColumn("quantity")
 }
 if (quanZeroes) {
 grid.hideColumn("quantity")
}

Hello Austin,

You could simplify the code by taking advantage of the javascript array:
var hiddenColumns = [];
 
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
    for (var prop in data[i]) {
        hiddenColumns.push(prop);
    }
}

You can then traverse the array and hide these columns as per your requirements.
