Hi ​@bihalivan15 ,

This may have to do with the processing order.  The RowsCount variable in your subreport is probably not be calculated at the time that the visibility condition for the header is evaluated.  You can verify this by adding a control on your report to display the expression at various places on your report.

I haven’t tested this recently, but I think it might be possible to adjust the processing order of the Header section to Always so that the subreport variable is calculated first.  Alternatively, you could consider embedding a hidden copy of subreport in an earlier section just to do the rowcount.  I realize that’s not the most efficient, but I have used that approach with success.

Hope this helps!

Laura
