      We are currently trying to do a data merge where a “square” contains an image and text fields. However, when there is no image we would like the image field to be removed and replaced with the text field from below, then the next text field shifts up etc.

      Is this possible?
      We are new to InDesign and not very code savvy.

      Thank you!

      I’ve never used the data merge feature in InDesign so I might misunderstand your question. But take a look at this post: https://creativepro.com/rid-empty-lines-data-merge.php it might help you. The post is regarding an empty line so I’m not sure if it works for an ’empty’ image field as well. But please let me know if it works or not.

      You can use GREP like next step.

      Just delete first line with empty object.
