Specify what appears for data containers that contain no data
You can specify what appears in a data container when no data is available from the database.
When no data is available, you can show one of the following options:
- An empty data container, such as a blank list.
- Alternate content, such as another data container or an image. You can insert any object from the Toolbox tab.
- Text, such as There is no data available for this month. If you show text, you can format it. By default, the text No Data Available appears.
You can specify what appears when no data is available for the following data containers: lists, crosstabs, charts, maps, repeaters, repeater tables, and tables of contents.
If your report includes multiple data containers, you can specify different no data contents for each container.
Tip: The No Data sample report in the GO Sales (query) package
includes data containers that have no data.
