You could only suppress the output for a complete section of the report.
So the whole data of one row could be suppressed, not a "row of fields"
in the section "Details".

You could try to set the height of the fields to automatic height, but I
don't know if it would set the hight to '0' for the fields. See

I have tried the documentation for ReportBuilder for the German
Base-Handbuch. You could find older translations here:
