Problem is also described here: http://www.birt-exchange.com/forum/designing-birt-reports/12377-design-question.html The Problem: a DataCube Groub contains maybe 6 elemens group element1 element2 ... if you move this group to the CrossTab row view you get 6 cells from left to right in the row view. So in many cases this is not what the user wants. So he move the elements in the cells to other cells so that these cells now contains 2,3 or more elements. The cells which are now empty can't be deleted and take up room. And after changing the background color, the borders are visible.
Created attachment 115863 [details] a html view showing the result
Created attachment 115864 [details] shows the layout in birt
Created attachment 115865 [details] see the 6 elements which contain each a cell some of them are empty
Problem exists also in 2.2.1
Created attachment 115900 [details] how to remove the levels
To truly "delete" a level, you can select the "Show/Hide Group Levels" from the popup menu of the main dimension cell. Directly pressing "delete" will only delete the content of that cell. This is the same behavior as table or grid. Please refer to the screenshot I attached above.
Sorry, but this is not the problem in the case you described you will lost displayed information. but I don't want to lost he inormation I want to change how the information is displayed try the following to understand my problem: take the cross tab example you have country, state, city cells move the the city cell content under the state (this will make no sense here but show the problem. now you should have a new view in layout (image=>"layout after move") and html view (image=>"html after move). Now the view display empty cells and the information which is displayed there in the past is diplayed at the position I want. But I don't want the empty cells. If I know hide the city cell like you described, the information vanish :(

OK, now I understand it. This is kind of an enhancement request to support Crosstab level visibility setting.
great. Is there a possible workaround in Birt 2.2.1 or 2.3 because I can't go up to a newer version because JamaContour will support Birt 2.2.1 in Contour 2.4 or above and may support Birt 2.3 in Contour 2.5. Kind Regards Michael
Need negotiate this feature with report engine, move this to 2.5.
