Hey I am working on a report with up to 12 barcodes. Depending on the situation the number of barcodes might vary. Is it possible to hide components in a report so it only shows the barcodes with information or is there another way?  
Right now I'm giving the informations via parameters and not via a query so tables shouldn't work straightforward, should they?  
Thank you for the help

Table groups will hide children that have no data.

Yeah, don't do that. Get your queries working first, then design the report from them.

Yeah I figured already thats the way I have to do it, but I was hoping I can save myself some work. Thank you!
