Subscription error when the table produced no results

[HazechanAB]

Dear All experts,

I want to create a subscription which ONLY send emails to me when any value >0 is found in a matrix table.

The reason why i use subscription but not alert is because data activator alerts dont have the PDF attached in the email.

Any way, I tested the subscription and the email saids:

There was an error with your subscription "XXX" and it could not be delivered

DataDrivenSubscriptionPreProcessingError Semantic Model XXX produced no results. Check your subscription and filters for any issues.

Please let me know if you have any solution. Thank you all in advance.

Hi @HazechanAB ,

Based on your description, this type of error typically occurs when the query or filter criteria for a data-driven subscription does not match any of the data that the subscription attempts to run with. Since your requirement is to only send emails if the value is greater than 0, if the matrix table does not have any such values, the subscription will not be able to generate results, resulting in the error you are seeing.
First, make sure that the query or filter conditions set for the subscription accurately reflect the data that is expected to trigger the subscription. Manually run a query against the semantic model to confirm that it returns results under the expected conditions.
Second, ensure that the semantic model is configured correctly and contains the expected data. You can also set up alternatives, including generic data matching, so that the conditions of the subscription don't disappear when the data is refreshed.
