Hi,  
I’m trying to use an empty calculation as a placeholder for the result section. practically like a single divider. Works so far if the " — " wasn’t there.

@Sina We’ve added this code to the Custom CSS field to remove “-” symbol from an empty calculation:

```auto
[class*='result-secondary__SecondaryContainer-sc']:nth-child(4) [class*='result-secondary__Value-sc'] {
  display: none;
}

```

  

Also, our devs recommended removing of the divider from the calculation name and use this CSS code to create it:

```auto
[class*='result-secondary__SecondaryContainer-sc']:nth-child(4) [class*='result-secondary__Value-sc'] {
  display: none;
}

[class*='result-secondary__SecondaryContainer-sc']:nth-child(4) {
  border: 1px solid white;
}

```

  

This way, the divider will be displayed without breaks. Give a try and let me know if it worked for you 😉
