How to Remove Empty Rows in 1C Financial Reports: A Step-by-Step Guide

In 2025, updated accounting and auditing standards came into effect. Preparing annual financial statements has become more complex, and formatting requirements have grown stricter. One common issue accountants encounter when working with 1C is the appearance of unnecessary empty rows in the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement (P&L). These rows are generated automatically and can make reports look unprofessional.

We have prepared a brief guide to help you quickly clean up your reports.

Method 1: Removing Breakdown Rows via the «More» Menu

This is the fastest way to remove most unnecessary rows:

1. Open the required report in 1C (e.g., the balance sheet).
2. Click «Fill» → «Fill all reports».
3. After filling, you will see breakdown rows appear in the report.
4. In the upper right corner, find and click the «More» button.
5. Choose one of the options:
   • «Delete all breakdown rows» — removes all breakdowns entirely;
   • «Delete empty breakdown rows» — removes only the blank ones.
6. The rows will disappear with a single action.

Method 2: Hiding Specific Rows Using Row Settings Mode

Sometimes you need to hide rows beyond just breakdowns — for instance, if the company has no investment property or financial investments:

1. At the bottom of the report form, find the «Row settings mode» toggle and activate it.
2. Control icons will appear to the right of each row: a cross, an arrow, and an «eye» icon.
3. Locate the row you want to hide (e.g., «Investment property»).
4. Click the crossed-out eye icon — «Hide selected row».
5. The row will turn pale, meaning it will not appear in print.
6. Repeat for all unnecessary rows.

Where This Applies

The methods described above work for the balance sheet and the profit and loss statement (P&L) in 1C.
