Hiding column in a table

Hi!

When I hide an entire row in a table the row disappears and the following row takes its place, but when I do the same to a column only the text is hidden. Is there any way to make the entire column go away with the “hide paragraph if formula is true”?

If I have 3 columns and hide the middle one I want the 2 others to “expand” so that the table still has the same width, is this possible with only one table?

Thanks in advance
