Hi @suji,

Currently, power bi visuals not contain this feature, perhaps you can try to use below method which used to check if the table is empty.(IsEmpty function)

Measure:

IsEmpty = IF(ISEMPTY('test color'),"This table is empty","This table contains records")

Result:

 

In addition, you can also post this requirement to ideas.

Is this solution also valid for a chart?

I have a chart that only displays no data with some slicers options, I would like to have the message displayed in this case.

I've created the measure:

IsEmpty = IF(ISEMPTY('sheet1'),"This table is empty")

I'm not sure if this is valid and where to added it on the chart.

Can, please, someone help me?
