Notebook -- exited gracefully

[tan_thiamhuat]

can I check how is it possible to exit a notebook gracefully with 

mssparkutils.notebook.exit when certain condition is met, and the rest of the code in the below cells are not executed.

Thanks.

Hi @tan_thiamhuat ,

Yeah, you can totally do that. If you use mssparkutils.notebook.exit inside a cell, it’ll stop the notebook right there and none of the cells below will run after that. Just put your condition check at the top of the cell, and call notebook.exit when you want to stop. For example:

Python

if some_condition:
    mssparkutils.notebook.exit("Stopping execution because condition met")
# whatever code below here won’t get executed if the exit is called

It doesn’t matter if you have more cells after, they just won’t be executed once exit runs. That’s how I usually handle early exits when I need to.
