Create a Custom Error Message for Visualizations with No Data

You can create your own message that's displayed for visualizations that have no data to display in a workbook.

When the selected data elements and possibly the filters for a visualization don't produce results, the message 'No Data Found' is displayed. As the workbook author you can create a custom message to help explain why the visualization didn't display any results. For example, you might create a custom error message 'There is no data for the selected year' to display when a visualization contains no data. The message is displayed for all visualizations in the workbook.

  1. On the Home page, hover over a workbook, click Actions (Actions menu ellipsis icon), then select Open.
  2. Click the workbook Menu and Workbook Properties.
  3. For No Data Text click Auto, and select Custom.
  4. Enter your custom error message text.
  5. Click OK.
