I don't believe you can...

However, in your example, you could put a separate Order Method above B (so one for A and one for B) and then Box Type None both the additional Order Method, B, and the Measure cells.
In that way, I think everything will line up as everything will slide similarly.

Hope this helps.
Adam.

Unlock the report,
set the text item in the column to box type none.
set the column size and overflow to 0 pixels wide.
set the column padding to 0,0,0,0
set the column border to none all round.

The column is still there, it just can't be seen.

Why is it in the layout if you don't want to see it? Can you just remove it?

It might be there to create a grouping for section header.
Or perhaps there's a conditional format that sometimes shows the column and sometimes not.

Let's see if OP answers the question. I asked because it would help determine if there is a different way to achieve the requirement, such as by associating the item to the "Properties" property for the node or via different conditional layouts.

Good point.
I misunderstood why you were asking. :)
Sorry.
