SSRS 2015 - hide a tablix column based on a value in the data set table and row group value

Question

I have one table used as a data set for 10 pages of a report. I have created one tablix containing this data. This report is to be exported into excel with 10 different tabs. I have grouped on the tableID and can produce a report that exports as excel with the 10 different tabs. This is a row group and I do not have any column groups.

The table has 5 columns and I want to be able to set the column visibility based on the tableID grouping. eg for tableID 1 i would like columns 1 and 2 to be hidden and tableID 2 I would like columns 5 to be hidden. If I create separate tables and filter this works fine but not if it is just the one table and I group using tableID.

Step1:

Create a list, group on tableID, and set the page break

Step2:

Create the table with your data (probably already done that)

Step3:

Select your table. On your columns group activate advanced mode to show you the static columns. Select each static column, and set the hidden expression

Step4:

Drag the table inside the list to embed it. Size the list to match your table size
