hiding table with null dataset

=iif( Fields!SomeCol.IsMissing , TRUE, FALSE) does not seem to work in
visibility expression of table properties. any ideas for using
expressions to hide a table with a null dataset would be great.

mikeHi Mike,
In my reports when there is not data to display (null data set) I have a
textbox that is hidden until the NULL dataset is verified. They it shows "No
Data To Display For the Report Criteria" You can use an expression similar
to the following, just revers the True,False logic if you need to.
=iif(rownumber("DataSetName") = 0, false, true)
Hope this helps,

emprty or not.
any further ideas? what do you mean by "until the NULL dataset is
verified" how is this done in the report designer, do i need custom code ? It
seems as if the visibility by expression should cover this but I find very
little documentation and no intellisense to experiment... thanks again ...

works by looking at an aggregate SUM() field in the table footer

property. If set, the NoRows message will be shown instead of the data
region. In addition, style properties (fonts, colors, etc.) directly set on
the data region reportitem (e.g. table) will apply to the NoRows message.
Alternatively, you could use the RowCount aggregate functions to determine
the number of rows in a dataset. E.g. =RowCount("DataSetName")
