Mustache foreach to display text if no results found from table

Hi,

I am new to the forums so please bear with me.

I am looking to create a foreach table in a word doc which will return ‘NA’ if the table it is pulling from is blank. I also want it to ignore the ‘NA’ if values are present and display the values.

I’ve tried using inverted sections but this still prints if there are values present

http://mustache.github.io/mustache.5.html#Inverted-Sections

For example;

{{ #foreach Customers }}{{ Name }} {{ Surname }}{{ /foreach Customers }}

If there are no customers in the table then I want it to print out ‘NA’.
Any help appreciated

In your case, we suggest you please use the LINQ Reporting Engine to achieve your requirement. Please read the following articles.

If you still want to use Mustache syntax, please use the IF field with Mustache template syntax as shown in attached document. input.zip (9.3 KB)

Thanks Tahir

To explain this a bit bettter, I have a table across 4 columns that use a foreach to print out values and I want the document to dislpay an NA value if the table has no values in it.

I’ve attached the example I am using, basically if the row for chairs has zero results then the text in the description field needs to saying ‘NA’.
