Display Specific Columns

[RunForrestRun]

Hi guys!

I have a pivot table and and a separated search form. 

I want  to show or hide specific columns based on a dropdown field that I have included on the search form. 

Do you guys have any idea how to achieve this?

I don't know if this will fit your workflow but I have this CSS code that I am using for a tabular report. I have tested this in a pivot table as well so it should work on your pivot properly:

Put this code in the Header:
<style>
 #target table:nth-of-type(1) td:not(:nth-of-type([@FieldtoDisplay])) {display: none;}
 #target table:nth-of-type(1) th:not(:nth-of-type([@FieldtoDisplay])) {display: none;}

/* The part below is for excluding a column from being hidden by default*/
 #target table:nth-of-type(1) td:nth-of-type(1) {display: table-cell;}
 #target table:nth-of-type(1) th:nth-of-type(1) {display: table-cell;}
  </style>
 <div id="target">

And this in the Footer:
</div>

Basically, what this code does is  hide all the columns by default except the column specified using the NOT selector of CSS. You can specify your column by passing a parameter from your separate search form [@FieldtoDisplay]. This parameter should contain a integer value that corresponds to the position of the column that needs to be displayed.

The second part of the code is optional, it can be added if you wish to diplay a certain column regardless of the selection. Let's say you have a column for ID or Name and you want them to be visible at all times, you can specify their position and change "1" to exclude them from being hidden.
