blank spaces in details section. How to remove them?

[yehong]

I am supressing my details section using a condition. When some rows are supressed I see blank spaces. Is there a way to completely remove those blank spaces too?
I am using CR8.5.
Here is an example:

FnameLaname1
FnameLaname2


FnameLname5
FnameLname6

Here is the output that I want.
FnameLaname1
FnameLaname2
FnameLname5
FnameLname6

I have tried checking the box "Supress blank section", still I see blank spaces.

Do you have all of your fields in the one detail section - or have you split your detail section up - one for each field? If you haven't split them, right click on the Detail section name (to the left of the screen in design) and select 'Insert Section Below' - do this for as many fields as you have. Then, format each section (Detailsa, Detailsb etc.) to suppress blank.

Hi Peter,
I have just one details section for now. Your solution seems little lengthy in my scenario, but I will give it a try once you confirm that this is what you meant.

See below:

Name Level
FnameLaname1 2
FnameLaname2 2
FnameLname3 1
FnameLname4 1
FnameLname5 3
FnameLname6 4

My supress function is:
If Level=1 Then supress the section.
As per your suggestion, how many sections I need to add? I have upto 8 levels, does that mean I need to add 8 detail sections and then add supress function to each section?

When you did your initial suppression, did you enter your conditional suppression formula in the section suppression area (format->section->details->suppress->x+2) or did you use field suppression (format->field->common->suppress->x+2)? For the "suppress blank section" to work, I think you need to have used section suppression.

I used section supression by going into (format->section->details->suppress->x+2).
