suppress column and remove blank space in crystal report

Question

I'm working on Microsoft Visual Studio 2003.

I'm searching for a way to suppress a column if it is empty and replace the blank space left by the other columns.

I'm searching everywhere but I can't find a compatible way to the version 2003.

Does exist a simple way? I appreciate any help.

Answer 1

Crystal Reports doesn't have an automatic (or easy) way to dynamically move columns.

You might consider multiple header and details sections that could approximate this--simply suppress the sections that contain the fields with NULL values.

Answer 2

Right click on the report object and select Format Field. On the Format screen -> Number tab click the Customize button. On the Custom Style screen -> Number Tab check the "Suppress If Zero" box.

But i don't think it can exist in version 2003
