Hello from Maurice, newbie question sorry (i am quick though).

I am retrieving rows from a table, i wish use a condition node to test if I have zero rows returned.

I bring returned rows to data.table. the items appears when rows are returned. it is absent when no rows are returned.

I have not deduced how to frame the condition node test.

Thanks in advance

ooops, i had a function node between get table row and condition node.

when condition immediately after get table i can see data.table.count=0 so problem solved.

A Function Node would work, but also, assuming you’re putting the result of your Get Table Rows Node at the payload path of `result`, you can use the `count` property on that result to tell if any rows were returned. Therefore, the expression you would check against in the Conditional Node would be:

```auto
{{result.count}} > 0

```
