Hiding columns in a table?

Hi there,
I wonder if any of you know of an easy way to hide columns in a table in InDesign CS5? To further explain, i have two documents currently, one is a price guide and the other is bascially identical but without the prices, lets call that the product guide. It seems daft to have to update the two (especialy when i actually have four as i have each in two languages!) every time there is a slight change to the product listing. So, i was thinking if i have the price guide, make a PDF of that, hide the column with the prices in, and then hey presto, I've got the product guide. Seems simple but i can't seem ot find a simple way of hiding the column.
Is there such an option? Or any suggestions as to how best do it? I don't want to delete it as i will need to update this column occasionally, and i really want to avoid having lots of different InDesign documents as i have this situation for 5 different country's guides, each with a local language and english language version, making 20 in total if i keep them separate (10 if i don't, which is enough imho) - mental i know! But thats the way work want it
Cheers!

* If you experiment with some table cell settings, you can probably find a design that works when the columns are exposed, and when they're set to their minimum width - 3pt.
Setting the column width to its minimum may not conceal cell content if the cell side margins are so small as to allow content to touch the cell sides, so you may need to pay attention to the margin values. If the column has vertical rulings, you may also need to pay attention to their stroke width and color.
* Conditional text won't hide a column, but if the column is the furthest left or right, you might achieve what you want by applying a condition to the text in each cell of the column and hiding or showing it as needed. The width will be preserved, but no text will appear when hidden.
* Similar to conditionalizing the cell content, you can define a paragraph style for only the cells in the column, and redefine the character color to None or Paper to hide the content, and redefining the color to Black to show it.
* It may be possible to script a solution. I'm not familiar enough with available scripts. Inqire on the scripting forum.

  • Dynamically Hiding Column in a Table View in VC Model

    How to dynamacally hide the columns in a table view in a VC model. Through the expression in Control Property, Form element/field or table view as a whole can be made hidden, however, the individual column can not seem to be hidden.
    I am using VC server version 700.8.0.1.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Kind Regards

    In this scenario, if the source is SAP BI, you can use the webapi commands. If not, you would have to have 2 separate tables in different layers and you can show and hide those layers or UI elements...

  • Hiding columns in pivot table OBIEE 11g

    Hi experts,
    I am trying to create a pivot table with individual values in columns but I also need to display a grand total as values but also as percentage and as cumulative percentage.
    I duplicated the measure once in the measure area, and selected display data as percentage of column, and another time using display cumulative and percentage of column.
    The result is fine, but all the elements are displayed as column for the percentage and for the cumulative. Or, I only need the Grand Total Percentage and Cumulative, but I don't need all the columns for Percentage and cumulative.
    I have tried to find out a way to customize the XML but nothing good.
    Is there a way to display only the grand total for percentage and cumulative without having to display all the individual columns?
    Any help highly appreciated.
    Regards

    If I get your question correctly.. You are trying to present the grand total towards the end of the Pivot and OBIEE is displaying the totals of all the sections and then the Grand Total.
    Try not to use the grand total of the sections but create a new pivot view and just display the grand total in that view.
    So you will have your normal sections and then another pivot view just for the grand total.
    As far as I know, there is no option to hide the individual section totals.

    Hi,
      Here 2 options are there select based on requirement.
    1. Column will hide but there empty space will display. This can be acheived by setting the condition in condition tab of the column related text in that node(table).
    2.Completly hiding the cloumn and also empty space means create 2 tables table1 with 4 columns and table2 with3 columns. create alternative and put condition. if yes table1 display.if no means table2 will display.

  • Hiding Columns in a JTable

    Hi folks,
    I'm developing a program, one part of which should show in a table the information it got from the DB. It works just fine. The problem is - the user doesn't need to see all the columns (some of them are even unknown and are for intern use only). How could I hide those columns? Or should I create another TableModel and show it instead?
    Thanks in advance

    As a new member you should learn how to search the forum before asking a question.

  • How does Toggle Visible for a Column in a Table work ?

    Hi All,
    I have a question for you.
    Using version 11.1.1.7:
    I was playing with a use case where I need to show and hide columns in an af:table component.
    I want to do this clientside using javascript.
    Guess what: It works, however, it only works for hiding columns ?!
    Initially I have client component = true and visible is true.
    See javascript below.
    When I call hideColumn, the component is found and hidden after calling.
    When I call showColumns (after it is hidden) the component cannot be found anymore.
      function showColumn(evt){
          var col = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("pt1:pc1:t1:c9")  ;
          col.setVisible(true);    
       function hideColumn(evt){
          var col = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("pt1:pc1:t1:c9")  ;
          col.setVisible(false);    
        }I checked and when the columns visible property is initially false, the column is not found by AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("pt1:pc1:t1:c9"), which means it is not available ?!
    It looks like the visible property for an af:column works slightly different then for other components such as buttons.
    Also makes me wonder how the panelCollection component shows and hides columns. Doesn't that component do exactly the same ?
    Thanks.

    Luc,
    couldn't find a hint in the sources (maybe didn't spend enough time). However, one reason for this behavior would be if the hidden column had no client component created (in which case it only exists as hidden HTML). The work around I think would be to use a serverListener on the table and to pass the columns to show/hide as the payload for server side show/hide

    The above code executes well with no problem at all!
    As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
    AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
    The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
    "Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
    "DialyzerID".
    However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
    column headers in table in pdf report from
    c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
    I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
    What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
    Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
    I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
    Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
    If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
    vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
    I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
    I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
    I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
    Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

  • Specific Model not showing rows in a table in a column of a table

    Hello,
    Fairly simple issue here (I think):
    I have a table bound to a global model and its rows bound to "/items"
    I then have a column within that table which has a valuehelpfield that pops open a dialog with a table.
    This tables rows inside the dialog are bound to a temp model. Now I know this temp model has the correct data and format and I do not get a "no data" messages when I bind it's rows to the node on the temp model, and to double check that I tried binding it to an incorrect node and it did say "no data" and I tripple checked by getting the jsonstring of the model and it's exactly how it should be.
    Here is the code:
    oTable.addColumn(new sap.ui.table.Column({
                label: new sap.ui.commons.Label({

             tempModel = sap.ui.getCore().getModel('tempModel');
                d = tempModel.getData();

    HI Bob
    I briefly scan thru your code and spotted one common issue. When we are binding property, we need to include the model name. e.g.
    template: new sap.ui.commons.TextField().bindProperty("value", "shop"),
    should be
    template: new sap.ui.commons.TextField().bindProperty("value", "tempModel>shop"),

    Map each RB s keytoSelect to option 1,2,3. Map all the RBs selectedKey atribute to selectedoption.
    Now selection for each row will be stored in the selected option.
