Hide blank column in "detail view"

[Rangberry]

i used "show if" (as shown in screenshot) in column (contact number) to limit user by their roles. but in "details view" column (contact number) is shown even it is blank (see screenshot). can you please help me to hide column which is blank. @Steve

I believe you can just add a ISNOTBLANK([_this]) condition to your other condition. Something like:

AND(ISNOTBLANK([_this]),IN(LOOKUP(USEREMAIL(),user,table,user mail,'CONTACT NO.'),LIST("view only","edit")))

but then it also get hidden from "form view" becaue column is empty when we're adding, see screen shot

OR(AND(ISNOTBLANK([_this]),IN(LOOKUP(USEREMAIL(),user,table,user mail,'CONTACT NO.'),LIST("view only","edit"))),CONTEXT(VIEWTYPE)<>"detail")

Add a CONTEXT() condition so it will show in all views except 'detail'

[lynchk21]

Or if you only want it in 'form' you can use CONTEXT(VIEWTYPE)="form" instead

OR(AND(ISNOTBLANK([_this]),IN(LOOKUP(USEREMAIL(),user,table,user mail,'CONTACT NO.'),LIST("view only","edit"))),CONTEXT(VIEWTYPE)="form")

There is a setting for this purpose. You can find it from Settings > Views. If it's OFF, your formulas only affect on form views.
