Removing basic table when its empty

Hi, 

I am inputting my data from a SharePoint and converting it to a PPT deck through Alteryx. I used 2 different tables but sometimes they can be empty when there is no information for them. I was wondering if there was a way where the table wouldn't show up if it was empty. I have been thinking of using a formula tool and writing "If isEmpty(Table) Then ... Else (Table) ENDIF. For the "Then" there is nothing where I can write something like "delete". Let me know if there is a way of doing this!

Hey @dpatel53,

The table tool will only output a table if there at minimum a null row in the data set. Therefore, you can do something like this:

Here I use the summarize tool to count non null rows, If all the data is Null then no data is passed to the table.

 

Any questions or issues please ask
