I had the same problem with the grayed out column visibility and the solutions I found online weren't working, so hopefully this will help someone else out.

You have to basically trick it into working. Here’s how I did it:

1. Click on the tablix, then right click on the gray column properties thing on the column to the right of the column you’re interested in.
2. Choose Add Group>adjacent left.
3. In the group by field, enter False because you don’t really want it to group.
4. Now you can right click on the gray column properties box and choose visibility.
5. Enter your function for visibility.
6. Now copy and paste everything you need from the ‘broken’ column where you couldn’t adjust the visibility into your new column.
7. Delete the old column.
