Replace "No data to display" by a customized message in Charts

[#1]

Hello !

In some of my charts, to be more accurate for the final users, i'd like to change the message "No data to display".
Is it possible in QV?

Many thanks!

Best Regards

Hi,

In the Chart properties, tab General, you can click the Error Messages button. Here you can define custom error messages.

I've already tested that, but it isn't working unfortunately ....

Hi,

What type of error are you trying to catch?

It's not really an error, i think the relevant ame would be "information message".It's "No data to display"

If you want to display it, just select values in list boxes which are not used in (non-detached) charts . The chart will display "no data to display" in this case.

You're right.. I can't help you with that. Can't find an option that handles this message.. The only thing I can imagine is using a conditional show in which the chart expression shouldn't be NULL and if so it displays a textobject instead of the chart..

Hope someone else can help!

No way I know of to change the "No Data..." message. An alternative is to define a Calculation Condition for the object. Something like count(dimension) > 0. The "Calculation Condition unfufilled" message can be changed using the "Error Messages" button on the properties General tab.
