Hide Column In Tabular Report

[Master 1]

How can I hide some columns in tabular report without having extra spaces? I have some calculated field which I need to hide.

[MayMusic 114]

To hide particular columns (and column header) in tabular report page, add the following codes to the header and the footer

This goes in header:

<style>
#target table:nth-of-type(2) td:nth-of-type(3)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(2) th:nth-of-type(3)  {display: none;}

#target table:nth-of-type(2) td:nth-of-type(4)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(2) th:nth-of-type(4)  {display: none;}

#target table:nth-of-type(2) td:nth-of-type(5)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(2) th:nth-of-type(5)  {display: none;}
</style>

<div id="target">

Add this to the footer:

</div>

The above style will hide columns 3,4 & 5. The number in table:nth-of-type(2)  depends on your result page design. If your result table is the first on the result page (case when you don't have download, or sort by dropdown or has a search form), this number should be 1. If you have download or sort by, or pre-defined criteria this number should be 2.

Number in td:nth-of-type(3) shows which column you want to hide. 1 refers to the first column, 2 second column and so on..

Also please note that this style is not supported by IE 8 and less. It should be fine on all other browsers.

If you have sticky header enabled you need to add one more line to each

 

#target table:nth-of-type(1) td:nth-of-type(3)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(1) th:nth-of-type(3)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(2) th:nth-of-type(3)  {display: none;}

May, your code is working and is taking away my style in the header bar. See the attached image. The last "RED SQUARE" Indicates the column to be hidden. It is working fine but taking away the blue background. How do I get the missing blue background to match the blue bar length to the gray bar below? The contents of the field (Shown as BLUE BOXES) is also not hiding

Hi Rmohanr,

If you want to hide the text from the header bar, you can try this:

From MayMusic's answer, replace with:

#target table:nth-of-type(2) th:nth-of-type(3)  {
    /* Hide the text. */
    text-indent: 100%;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
}

or for sticky headers:

#target table:nth-of-type(2) th:nth-of-type(5)  {
    /* Hide the text. */
    text-indent: 100%;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
}

I hope this will help you.

I have a table with 38000 records and when i group them and collapse it only shows the collapsed group for max 1000 records.

I don't actually need to see the records, only the group aggregate. Can I hide the result rows and only show the Group total line so I have a nice neat table showing all the group totals not expandable?.

This configuration does not work with new styles in version 21.0

Just an update, for new version of Styles and when your DataPage's configuration is set to "enable responsive". Here's the new code:

Header: 
 

<style>
 
#target table:nth-of-type(1) td:nth-of-type(5)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(1) th:nth-of-type(5)  {display: none;}

</style>
 
</header>
<div id="target">
<header>

Footer: 

</footer>
</div>
<footer>

Thank you @Vitalikssssss for this solution. 

For reference of new responsive feature, you could check it here:

Hope it helps!

I have hidden 4 calculated fields with the below code for a responsive datapage. The columns are successfully hidden but I also have an aggregation to achieve a total.  In the screenshot below, the aggregation is no longer aligned with the column.   How can the code be modified to include the aggregation? 

Header

<style>
 
#target table:nth-of-type(1) td:nth-of-type(6)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(1) th:nth-of-type(6)  {display: none;}
 
#target table:nth-of-type(1) td:nth-of-type(7)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(1) th:nth-of-type(7)  {display: none;}
 
#target table:nth-of-type(1) td:nth-of-type(8)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(1) th:nth-of-type(8)  {display: none;}
 
#target table:nth-of-type(1) td:nth-of-type(9)  {display: none;}
#target table:nth-of-type(1) th:nth-of-type(9)  {display: none;}

</style>

<div id="target">

Hello @rush360,

Please add this code to the Footer and test. It works on my end.

<script>
document.addEventListener('DataPageReady', changeColSpan);

  function changeColSpan() {
  var elem = document.querySelector('.cbResultSetTotalsLabelCell');
  var currentColSpan = elem.colSpan;
    
  elem.colSpan = currentColSpan - 4; // 4 is a number of hidden columns, you may change the value if needed

  document.removeEventListener('DataPageReady', changeColSpan);

}

</script>

Hope this helps!
