Use the Iif function to define the required condition. For example:

Iif([Discontinued] == False, False, [Discontinued])

This expression means that if the data field's value is False, the control's Visible property is disabled.

When switching to Print Preview, you can view the report control's visibility changes according to the assigned condition.
