So i've got the table below, i want columns to be automatically removed upon the page loading, i should say i am rendering it as PDF. How would i remove the columns that have no data including the header.

<table border="1" cellpadding="6" width="100%" class = "table1"> <thead> <tr> <th title="Field #1">test 1</th> <th title="Field #2">test 2</th> <th title="Field #3">test 3</th> </tr> </thead> <apex:repeat value="{!qli}" var="opp"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <apex:outputText value="{!opp.test1}" /> </td> <td> <apex:outputText value="{!opp.test2}" /> </td> <td> <apex:outputText value="{!opp.test3}" /> </td> </tr> </tbody> </apex:repeat> </table>

Any help is appreciated.

Use rendered attribute.

Your code will be

<table border="1" cellpadding="6" width="100%" class = "table1"> <thead> <tr> <th title="Field #1">test 1</th> <th title="Field #2">test 2</th> <th title="Field #3">test 3</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <apex:repeat value="{!qli}" var="opp"> <tr> <td> <apex:outputText rendered="{!IF(ISNULL(opp.test1) , false , true)}" value="{!opp.test1}" /> </td> <td> <apex:outputText rendered="{!IF(ISNULL(opp.test2) , false , true)}" value="{!opp.test2}" /> </td> <td> <apex:outputText rendered="{!IF(ISNULL(opp.test3) , false , true)}" value="{!opp.test3}" /> </td> </tr> </tbody> </apex:repeat> </table> Share Improve this answer Follow answered Jul 17, 2020 at 15:46 Noor A ShuvoNoor A Shuvo 48188 silver badges2323 bronze badges 1

• Would that not just hide the columns rather than the headers? Is there a way to include the headers in that case too. – Shaan Khokhar Commented Jul 19, 2020 at 11:52
