I have tables which are all based on the same datasource and are filtered based on the record details section the table is in. How can I hide these tables if they are empty? The empty styles appear to work based on the whole data source and not the whether the actual table is empty. I potentially do not have any knowledge of the filter applied to the table by the report designer, so I can't recreate any filters programatically to check that way. Is there any functionality to simply check the number of rows in a table after the report has applied its filters?

Hello Karl,

The Table item can be hidden by setting its NoDataMessage and NoDataStyle.Visible properties - How to: Set a No Data Message. To shrink the Panel item, please check the settings suggested in How Report Items are Arranged in a Section.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your help. I got it working in the end. The issue was that I had to set the message AND the style for the style to work. As I was making it invisible, the message wasn't ever going to be shown, so I wasn't setting that and so the style was ignored.
