Stopping distribution of a scheduled report, if "no data available"

I was wondering if anyone had any luck in stopping a scheduled report when the result is "no data available"?  This is a list report.  I have it scheduled to be emailed to a user every hour.  I was hoping to only have it emailed if there was data on the report.

You need to set up an even to control when the report gets sent

Another option is to use bursting.  If there is no data for a particular group, that group will not receive the report.

thank you both for your response.  I am new to these reports so I will need to look into these two options, as I have not used those methods.  I will do a little more digging into each option.

I think Chris means an event, otherwise that would be odd :)

I'll make sure I read my posts twice before pressing the enter key in the future.

It was just another bad muppet joke. Even... odd...

I know! Don't give up my day job 😃

Meep!

It gets worse - I tried to trump your muppet joke and it completely missed the mark. Odd or even, if it's doubled it'll be even...I blame my mathematical past
