Suppose you have a report with no data , when you run the
report in report studio how can you tell the end user ,
that it has no data , while he runs it?Is it possible ? if
so how?

Answer Posted / guest

Suppose there is no data in the report, when you run the
report, only the title will be displayed, data part will be
empty.

In such scenario, you have tell the user that the selection
criteria is not met with the business rules.

Eg. user run "monthly stock report" with selection of "week-
15" as time selection, will not display the record.
because, this report associated with calander month, so any
month has to be selected.. Last date of the month is
considered for monthly stock report.
