Collapse cell if empty and

Whoops. Sent too quick.
=Iif(IsNothing(Fields!ADDRESS3.Value),True,False)
Part 2 of question. I've got city, state, and zip columns evenly spaced in
a table. How do I get the columns to collapse to the width of their data?

As for your part 2, I don't know the answer to that. SRS allows for
increased/decreased height based on data but not width. If anybody has
a fix for this, I'd like to see that too.|||How do I put static data in a field with something dynamically generated? I
tried "Street Name:" & =IIF( Fields!STREET2.Value => nothing,True,False)
That didn't work.
This will hide the field but it doesn't collapse it or make it not show on
the page. I have four rows in a table for the address field but usually
only 3 are used. This is what happens when the third row is nothing. Under
Willow there is a blank space because this field rarely has data associated.
You can also see the spacing problem between city and state.

To understand the issue better, will you provide a simple sample of the
report with backend data?

>|||Are you using the =IIF( Fields!STREET2.Value = > nothing,True,False)
expression in the property for the entire row or just a cell in the
row? If not, try that. It should work for you. I have a couple
reports using it and it always draws the city, state zip row up to the
last visible address row.
The expression for Street: Fields!Street.value would be
="Street: " & Field!Street.Value
If Fields!Street.Value is Nothing you'll get 'Street: ' otherwise
you'll get 'Street: 123 Street Value' (without the quotes)|||Thanks toolman. I was setting the hidden value in the cell instead of row.
