Hi, Go to the Left Most cell of that particular row right click 'ROW Visibility' there is a tab called " Hide " you need to give the expression in it. =!Field.value IS Nothing Thanks, FUN BI

@Rockstar: =!Field.value Is nothing means !Field.Value the Field you want to make it invisible not the literal words Field. if your row field is named as production plant then it would be =!Fields.Productionplant.Value IS Nothing Thanks, Fun BI

Hi, Those blank rows are group headers. In order to remove them right click the leftmost blank cell in the row to be deleted and choose delete row.Remember to mark as an answer if this post has helped you.

Hi rockstar823, In order to remove the group header, you can right-click on the group field and select “Split Cells”(the cell is divided into two cells ). After that, you can delete the extra row, and then fill the field in the new cell. If possible, you can try to design a new report. Please note that don’t select the “Add group header” checkbox when you add a group. For more information about Adding Grouping and Totals, please refer to the article below: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms170712.aspx Thanks, Bin Long

Hi rockstar283, In the picture that you posted above, it seems that you add a group header when you add a group. Right? On my local machine, I tried to reproduce this issue. Here are the screenshots: Without group header: Include group header: If I have something misunderstood, please point out and post the structure when you design your report. If possible, please post the report(.rdl file) to the following E-mail address, and then I will try to reproduce this issue and assist you resolve it.

extremely Sorry for the nooby doubt mate..but =!Fields.Productionplant.Value IS Nothing is not working either..e.g. in my case..you can see in the attached snapshot..you can see the blank lines I want to omit..so I went into the first blank cell under the product (number) column..and in visibility I put..=!Fields.PRODUCT_NUMBER.Value is Nothing..but when I do that I get an error saying..The hidden expression for the textbox contains an error..Leading '.' or '!' can only appear inside a WITH statement..Can you please help me a little bit more.. http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/5513/unledonx.png
