Try cutting the column out with Strg+X

Hey mrh,

Hiding rows and columns can always be a little tricky.
Instead of block type to none, click on the Unlock button in the Analytics toolbar in the top right. The icon should change to an open
lock (unlocked). Now select the <#Country group#> text item (not the whole cell) and delete it.
Select the empty crosstab node left after deleting the text. Change its Padding to 0
pixels in all directions.

Hope this will help you!
Best regards,
Oscar
