Specify What Appears for Data Containers that Contain No Data

You can specify what appears for a data container when there is no data available. For example, you can have text appear that states that there is no data available for a list object in a report. This can be done for lists, crosstabs, charts, maps, repeaters, repeater tables, and tables of contents.

Tip: The No Data sample report in the GO Sales (analysis) package includes data containers that have no data. For more information about The Great Outdoors Company samples, see Sample Reports and Packages.
