Discussion

Use this method to remove the row or column that shows the rank ordinals for a category. You can remove rank categories when you update a report and no longer require this detail, or if you add nested categories to the report and must recalculate the category rank ordinals.

If an Explorer report includes a column that shows the rank ordinals for a category, use the Columns collection and this property to permanently delete the category. If an Explorer report includes a row that shows the rank ordinals for a category, use the Rows collection and this property to permanently delete the category.

This property does not delete the rank category if the report is in Reporter mode. To delete a rank category from a Reporter report, use the DeleteSelected method.

Integer
