Hi,
Just drag and drop the chart inside a table and then apply the variable,that would hide the chart as per your choice.

Thanks,

Use List and drag the item which is not then u want to show the 'No Data' mess.all the filter using for chart shuld be same for List also and drag the conditional block inside the page and do show ir hide option.in the List u add List footer.if there is no data show the footer only.
