hide rows in Apex:column

Hi all,

I have this VF page, which displays some fields in columns, rendered by a field value.
The only problem i encounter is that the records that are not shown because of the rendering, sstill produce a blank line.
How do i get the blank lines to not show up on the VF page.

This is de code 
<apex:page standardController="Discount__c" recordSetVar="Discounts" >
   <apex:form >
   <apex:pageBlock rendered="{!If(Discount__c.Status__c !='Draft', true, false)}" title="Draft discounts">
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Discounts}" var="a" >
        <apex:column headerValue="Name">        
        <apex:outputLink rendered="{!If(a.Status__c =='Draft', true, false)}" target="_blank" value="/{!a.id}">{!a.Name}</apex:outputLink>
        </apex:column>
        <apex:column headerValue="Status">
        <apex:outputText value="{!a.Status__c}" rendered="{!If(a.Status__c =='Draft', true, false)}"></apex:outputtext>
        </apex:column>
        <apex:column headerValue="API">
        <apex:outputText value="{!a.APIPartner__r.Name}" rendered="{!If(a.Status__c =='Draft', true, false)}"></apex:outputtext>
        </apex:column>
        <apex:column headerValue="MP User">
        <apex:outputText value="{!a.MP_User__r.Name}" rendered="{!If(a.Status__c =='Draft', true, false)}"></apex:outputtext>  
        </apex:column>
        <apex:column headerValue="Ingansdatum">
        <apex:outputText value="{0,date,dd'/'MM'/'yyyy}" rendered="{!If(a.Status__c =='Draft', true, false)}">
        <apex:param value="{!a.Discount_Start_Date__c}" /> 
        </apex:outputText>
        </apex:column>
        <apex:column headerValue="Ingediend door">
        <apex:outputText value="{!a.CreatedBy.Name}" rendered="{!If(a.Status__c =='Draft', true, false)}"></apex:outputtext>  
        </apex:column>
      </apex:pageBlockTable>
    </apex:pageBlock>
   </apex:form>         
</apex:page>
And this the output with the empty rows

Hi ,

Use a custom controller and fetch all the required data that you want to show in that pageblock table from the controller method.If you will use inline if-else statement the gap will appear as the row is not displaying that record as it is not satisfying the condition.Hope this will help.If u need anything else post it here otherwise mark it as solved.Thanks
