Hiding table columns :: urgent

Hi All .. I want to hide columns in a Table based on the level of drilldowns.
Say I have a report with Country,State,City,Count first level I want to show
only Country,Count and second level Country,State,Count and so on. I tried
giving the toggle item property of the Column to a textbox in the first group
but gives an error saying
Toggle items must be text boxes that share the same scope as the hidden item
or are in a scope that contains the hidden item, and cannot be contained
within the current report item unless current grouping scope has a Parent.
Also no items are available in the drop down for the toggle item. Am I doign
something wrong or is this a Reporting svc limitation. I am stuck with this
pls help ..
Thnx in advance

ThajeerYou need to change "Group" property instead of text item property.
Henry|||Thanx henry .. but there is group involved here . What I am trying to do is
hide a column just like hiding a row or a group and toggle the visibility
using another item. .. but the drop down itslef wont populate with any item
and if I enter the textbox name it gives me a compile error .. hope I am
clear ..

Hiding measures above Country level

Hello,
I have the following problem I would appreciate your help with:
I am designing a cube “Cost Benchmarking” using Analysis Server 2000 with the following structure (simplified for the sake of this post):
Dimensions: Countries (levels: (All), Regions, Countries)
Clients (levels: Client)
Media (levels: TV Station)
Months (levels: Years, Quarters, Months)
Measures:
Cost (amount of money the clients spent on advertising, in local currency),
Cost in USD (Cost converted to USD at the fact record level),
Impressions (raw number of impressions the ad campaign achieved, in thousands),
CPM (Cost Per Thousand impressions, calculated = Cost/Impressions)

The problem is that several measures do not make business sense to aggregate above the country level, namely Cost, Impressions and CPM. Users don’t even want to see those measures until a country is specified (we are planning on using Excel Pivot Table as a client).‘Cost in USD’ however can be aggregated at the Region and (All) levels.

Is there a way to hide those measures above the Country level?

Thanks
Kliment

If you're using AS 2000 Enterprise Edition, you could use the calculated cell feature, to clear cells with the relevant measures above the country level:

Calculated Cells

Calculated cells are cells whose value is calculated at run time using a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) expression that you specify when you define the calculated cells. Additionally, the expression can be conditionally applied to specific cells, based on an MDX logical expression also specified when you define the calculated cells.
