Remove "blank" space?

I have a report that contains a table with two rows. Each of these rows
contains a table with a header row, detail row and footer row. When the
report loads, these inner tables expand to 5-20 rows of data. All well and
good. However, sometimes the top inner table has no data to render. But when
the report renders, this space is blank (the height of the row of the outer
table). So there's a big gap of whitespace at the top of the report.
Is there any way to have this space shrink to nothing (or nearly nothing)?
Or at least very small? I can't seem to find any way to make this happen.
Thanks,
