Hi, I’m trying to hide a table column if it is empty. I have a large database of products for which all technical specs are not relevant.  
Here for example I need to hide several blank columns. Can anyone help? I have no experience with coding. thanks

```javascript
$w.onReady(() => {
 $w('#dataset').onReady(() => {
  const rows = $w('#table').rows;
  const columns = $w('#table').columns;
  if(rows.length){
   colomns.forEach(col => {
    const rowsWithCellValue= rows.filter(row => row[col.dataPath]);
    col.visible = !!rowsWithCellValue.length;
   })
  $w('#table').columns = columns;
  }
 })
})

```

Hi J.D, thanks for the help. Unfortunately this does not seem to work. I did change the values to my #dataset2 and #table1. Is there anything else I need to change?
