How to Hide a Tablix based on another Tablix's Visibility setting in SSRS

Question

How do we go about hiding a tablix based on another tablix's visibility setting? I have two tablixes on a report that are linked to another report. I'd like them to alternate (hide one when the other show).

Answer 1

Assuming you have an expression that determines whether Tablix1 is displayed or not, surely the solution to this is to set the Tablix2 visibility to be the opposite. eg

Tablix1 - Hidden property

=iif(condition, false, true)

Tablix2 - Hidden property

=iif(condition, true false)

I admit this does mean doubling up the code, but I'm not aware of a way for a report element to reference the properties of the other items on the report other than .Value .
