My input on this is the same as in my initial post - InfoPath does not have a way to do this.

Hi Hilary, As per your previous post you are hiding the repeating table columns in infopath design time. We want to hide the repeating table columns dynamically at runtime. We have 31 columns in a month and we want to hide dynamically 28,29,30,31 dates based on selected month. Please share your input on this. Thanks & Regards Harisha S

So - put a second copy of the same table on your form without those four columns. Add conditional formatting to this copy of the table to hide rows where those 4 columns are not blank. In your original copy of the same table, hide rows where those four columns are blank. Hopefully the sample I included with my previous post will help clarify this for you.

Yeah - that wasn't quite what I meant. Sorry for being unclear.

First off, I was assuming this was a table you were displaying, not writing to - that it was from a secondary data source. Is that the case? Or is it in your main data source?

I was just intending that you do something more like the attached.

Hi Hilary, Thanks for replying. I have tried with your solution. Scenario:- If we have 4 repeater table and 3rd repeater table is empty then we are applying rule to hide the 3rd repeater table. Its hiding the repeater table but its displayed space between 2nd and 4th repeater control. Please find attached screenshot for your reference. Please guide us on this issue. Thanks & Regards Harisha S

Unfortunately, IP doesn't have anything to allow us to do this. You can add multiple copies of the same table to your form, with some of the columns not present, and put the table in a section to hide it and conditionally format each copy of the table appropriately (i.e. - hide this row if column A is blank).
