Whether there is any way to hide this message so that if data is not there pertaining to valus given by user,the report should not throw any message.

I have come across this question a number of times in this board.I don’t think there is a straight forward method to hide it. Since you are using DeskI, you could think of some SDK solution(BeforeRefresh).

The FAQ I pointed to talks about that solution too.

Create a union query that always returns one row, that will surpress it without customisation, oops, just realised that was covered in the FAQ.

However, it is a good method for doing this.
