I have a column which has a customised user friendly Column Header . Now as per my requirement, user will do the Hide/Show on this Coumn.
Isuees are:
Customised Header spanning across 2 rows then while hiding Datas goes off but not the Header ? Any solution .
When unhide the Column, it showz the default Header rather than the header which I have given. Any Soution.
Any Ideas on these issues how to implement.
I guess this is not possible, just checking if anyone have come across like this.
Thanks

Try:
Create a new local report variable, name it like you want the column header to be named. Use this variable to create your table.

Yeah it would be nice if there were functions for this - show/hide column and column name - but alas , I think not. Maybe someone else has an idea
But Andreas - if you hide a column thru pivot and then show again, the column header reverts to Name of …
edit 2 - wait I see where you are going. yes - simple solution it is.

Scott, should it not work if I use the local report variable instead, name it the way I want and add it to my table? I tried it and it works for me…

yes of course - I read thru too fast. A very simple solution - the kind I like.
Hopefully it works for Vikas and their user.
I was trying to think of show/hide functions or workarounds . . .

But what if I have to display the Column Header in 3 Lines … same way user wants to see
something like we have a Amount field
so User wants to see it like this
Amount
($)
3.02
4.33
5.5
....
....
....
....
Hopefully I am clear in saying

I don’t think this will work on multiple header lines or crossing more than 1 data cell. Maybe you could get fancy trying a table or free cell outside the main table and then aligned to be just above so it looked like a header - or something. Without seeing the report and knowing what you are doing, it’s hard to come up with any other ideas.
