Charts with no data

I have a dashboard that I update weekly to show any applications that were processed through our office. Sometimes, there are weeks where we don't have any applications processed, so I don't have any data for the week. Is there a way to customized the error message in the chart? I've included a screenshot. I just want it to look a little better for the no data weeks.

What type of chart are you using? You can't change where it says that the source data has been changed, but there may be a workaround.

Hello,

As of now, it's not possible to to customize error messages, but I have raised an Enhancement Request to our Product Team to consider this feature for a future release of Smartsheet. As an alternative workaround, you could create a Title widget and add this when there are no new processed applications. Please see my example dashboard based on your screenshot.

Many Thanks

Sean
