Webi 'hiding' columns

[huggyd]

Has anyone come up with a way to hide a column in a webi (XIr2) report? I'm trying to sort on a column that I don't want shown in the report.

The best I can come up with is to put the column on the right of the report and set the fonts to white and tiny. The minimum width for a column appears to be 4 pixels which makes it large enough to select and appear to a user.

Are you showing this in graph form? If not you could deselect the field and drag it off the grid, then it won't show. But if you have it in your webi you must be needing it for something???

Thanks so much!

The column is only being used for sorting. It contains a sequence of numbers to sort by

If i remove it from the report I cannot use it to sort anymore.
