Collapsing Report Table if empty

[Andreas]

Hello,

Is it possible, that a Report Table which is bound to a

objectDataSource
in case the Method returns count 0 items, that the whole table is invisible? (SubReport)


I also have a problem, when 
objectDataSource

gets count 0, I get and error in the report, I would love, that the binding would not take part in this case and return an empty report?



Thanks a lot!

Hello Andreas,

We don't have out of the box solution to hide the data item when no data is available. However we have this feature logged in our Feature Tracking System and we will introduce the new option with a subsequent version of Telerik Reporting.

In the meantime there is a workaround you can use instead. Add a Binding to the table's header Textbox with

Property Path	Expression
Parent.Visible	=Count(1) > 0

You can do the same for a subreport just add the following binding to the subreport's header section:

Property Path	Expression
Parent.Parent.Visible	=Count(1) > 0

Kind regards,
Peter
the Telerik team

Hello Evangelista,

Currently, you can use the "No Data Message" feature that allows you to display text, style or hide the empty space of a nested data item, which data source returns no records.
For more information, refer to How to: Set a No Data Message help article.
