Insert "no data to retrieve" message into a report

[system]

Hi,

We have multiple data sources providing data to a Webi report. There is a potential that one data provider sometimes doesn’t have any data and so returns a “no data to retrieve” pop up.

What we would like to do is flag this message into the report in a cell. So the message “Query X has no data to retrieve” would appear in a specific cell in the report…

Is there any easy way to achieve this?

Could you count the number of instances of some variable from Query X, and show that message when the count is zero?
