Definition

If you check off this indicator, columns that only contain zero amounts are not printed. However, totals columns resulting from non-suppressed columns are not suppressed.

Example

No zero suppression
|----------|-----------|----------------------------|
| | Quarter 1 | Jan. Feb. March |
|----------|-----------|----------------------------|
|Year 1986 | 0.00 | 10.00 10.00- 0.00 |
|Year 1987 | 0.00 | 20.00 20.00- 0.00 |
|----------|-----------|----------------------------|

With zero suppression:
|----------|-----------|------------------|
| | Quarter 1 | Jan. Feb. |
|----------|-----------|------------------|
|Year 1986 | 0.00 | 10.00 10.00- |
|Year 1987 | 0.00 | 20.00 20.00- |
|----------|-----------|------------------|

You should note that the first column (total of months January, February and March) is not suppressed because it results from the non-suppressed columns for January and February.
