Hyperion Financial Reporting: Suppress Zero Data Row Not Work

Question

Hi Geniuses,
The projects list report has sub-groups with subtotal rows. I put suppression on the data rows of projects based on whether it's X or Y; thus, all Ys are suppressed and only Xs remain. For a subgroup M, because M only has Y projects in it, so all data rows are suppressed; consequently, the subtotal row (formula row) of M is zero. However, even I put all the basic suppression on, the subtotal row still remains.
PS: I used the formula Sum(row[x]) and [x] to sum in the subtotal row.
Any idea how to suppress the subtotal row?
Thanks a bunch!
Dylan

Hi Dylan,
Could you try the following:
In the conditional suppression for the calculated row, define to suppress the calculated row if the data values of row(rownumber/one of the input rows) are suppressed, i.e. referring to another row's value and suppression and not to values of the calculated rows.
Choose a single input row for that not one which contains a range of members to test this. If such a row does not exist, insert a single row, which is representative in this circumstance, and hide it. I tried to reproduce your case, but it works with the simple suppression in my test, so not much help to you, of course. Sometimes it's an idea just to export the grid to a new report and start from the beginning with a limited example.
