Hi All,
Can you anyone advise me how to hide a column in the list report?
Thanks

There is a render variable property for a list column, you can create a variable based on a prompt and use that variable to show or hide a column based on a prompt choice.
i try this and let you know, thanks.
Depends on whenever you want to show the column at some point or if you never want to see it. If you never want to see it just cut (not delete) it from the report page. It should still be in the query so you can still use the column for calculations etc etc .
If you want to see the column under certain situations but not under others use the render variable on the column. You will need to set up a booelan variable which evaluates to true/false depending on when you want to show/hide the column.
Good luck :-)
Is Render=No and "Cut" the same? in terms of query execution
Yes, in either case the column will not be included in the select statement - unless it is overridden using the 'properties' property of a list object.
Render = No has a performance hit (even if only a small one) as you're asking the query to evaluate a booelan expression to determine whether to render the column or not.
Cut the column from the report page includes the column in the query but just doesn't include it on the report page.
The performance differnce is likely to be very small, possibily not even noticeable but it's good to understand what's going on :-)
