Stop schedule refresh when empty

Is there a nice way to stop a scheduled refresh for when a table is empty?

I've noticed it will wipe out data on the refresh when a problem occurs in a data warehouse table.

 

I was considering introducing a schema change when I know a data warehouse table has failed to load so that power bi won't lose the previous days data.

 

How is everyone else handling this situation?

HI @ottos13,

 

Have you consider to use Microsoft flow to control schedule refresh?
