Answer 1

Try creating a formula for your conditionally displaying column heading. Something like:

SomeFieldLabel:

If DistinctCount({@SomeField}) > 0 Then "The Column Label"

or

If Not IsNull({@SomeField}) And {@SomeField} <> "" Then "The Column Label"

Then create a text object with {@SomeFieldLabel} and all your other labels, and select Suppress Embedded Blank Field Lines.

You may need to experiment to find the right condition – one which evaluates to True whenever the field is present in your detail records, and False the rest of the time.
