title: SSRS (ReportBuilder 3.0) - How to remove whitespace taken by a hidden Tablix?
body: <p>In the SSRS report, I've a tablix which has a single row and a single column (single cell). That row has a single rectangle that contains other rectangles containing other elements. The visiblity expression is set at the tablix level (both tablix visibility and row visibility), but not at the contained rectangles etc. The tablix has a visibility expression set as: </p>
  
  <pre><code>=Fields!ShipmentType.Value&lt;&gt;"Sales
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The tablix row also has its row visibility set as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>=IsNothing(Fields!Calc_ShipToAddress.Value)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've checked the values of these fields and per the values the tablix must be hidden which it is, however, it is still taking whitespace on the PDF. </p>
  
  <p>There are three other tablixes; all three have just the tablix visiblity set, but not the row visibility. Interestingly, these tablixes don't take the whitespace when hidden.</p>
  
  <p>I've searched online various solutions including various posts on SO too, but none has worked for me so far. I've even set the visibility of the column for that tablix, but still it takes the whitespace.</p>
