Whenever I export an ssrs 2008 or ssrs 2012 report to comma delimited file, all columns are always displayed. I have code setup to hide the column when there is not data in the column.

I am using the following code:

=IIF(First(Len(Fields!CustomerNumber.Value)) > 0,False,true)

I the column level visibility,I have also set the DataElementOutput=Output for the textbox that displays the value.

The above code works when I export the ssrs report to excel.


Thus can you tell me what I can do to get the column not to be displayed when the file is exported to csv (comma delimited) file?

what about this?

=IIF(First(Len(Fields!CustomerNumber.Value)) > 0 Or Globals!RenderFormat.Name != "CSV",False,true)

Also one more thing?
Shouldnt you be setting property as
DataElementOutput=NoOutput to make it not rendering for CSV format?
