How do I hide a table in a report programatically?

Hi,
I have 2 tables in a report and, depending on which value a user picks in a
particular parameter, I want to display only one of the tables. Is there any
way to do something like, "IIF(parameters!param_A.value = "Y", visible = true, visible = false)" or something like that for a table?

Thanks,
JeffSet the table's Hidden property to an expression. For example:
=CBool(Parameters!HideTheTable.Value)
The Hidden property can be accessed by expanding Visibility... in the
Properties window.

The best way to accomplish this is to control the data populating the
table controls at the stored procedure/query level that is sourcing
the report. For example, pass the parameter value back to the stored
procedure(s)/query(ies) and if it is a certain value, return an empty
resultset to the report. Hope this helps.
