Suppressing the Display of Rows

How to:

Sometimes you may want to retrieve TAG, RECAP, or PICKUP rows or add values in DATA rows solely for use in a calculation, without wishing to display those rows on the report. The Financial Report Painter enables you to mark rows as invisible for this purpose.

You may also wish to suppress the display of a TAG row if no data is found for the values. The default character used to represent the missing data is a period (.). You can override this convention, making the display of a row dependent upon the existence of data.
