or later, where the column field is "Rep", and data field is "Units"

Hello all,

I have a number of process sections that I keep track of. It is how much was produced in each section per week. When I want to create a chart from this it would be nice to hide the zero columns. (Containing the weeks when nothing was produced.) I have a script for hiding zero rows, but I'm not able to transform it to columns also.

Thanks in advance.
