What is the correct syntax to hide a column based on a parameter?

I have an SSRS report with 4 parameters. 1 of the parameters is Country. If the countryid is in (1,2,3,4) I would like to set the column (textbox) visibility to true. When the parameter is not in that list I would like to hide the column.

What I have tried:

=IIF((Parameters!CountryList.Value in (1,2,20,21), false,true))

Does CountryList stores single value or list of values? What kind of data is stored in CountryList - string, integer?

In case, when a CountryList is a list of values, you have to check what value is on the first position:

=Parameters!CountryList.Value(0)=1

Note: IIF() function is redundant, because a comparision of two values, like valueA=valueB always returns boolean value.
