Do Not Send Subscription when report is blank

  • Hi All,

    I have a report that contains only one parameter (branch_code) which is passed in on the subscription and then the results e-mailled out.

    I however cannot work out how to NOT send the e-mail when the report returns nothing. At present there are about 60 e-mails being sent, but at times, half of them are blank.

    Thanks,

    Danny

  • My proposed alternative(s) may not be the best solution...

    Approach 1:

    I sense you're running into a limitation. Why not setup the subscription inside the SQL database? Use DB Mail feature to email the file. It could all be done using a TSQL job. Using TSQL you can figure out whether you have null set or not.

    Approach 2:

    Do not change anything with subscriptions. However, setup an email alert using tsql when you find out that the end user will get blank report.

    Good luck! I am curious what others would do in this situation.
