# Control empty rows in reports

As an administrator, you can enable or disable the **Show empty rows** property at the Pentaho Server level. You can use this property to prevent a cross-join that is resource-intensive on the server. The values for the **Show empty rows** property are:

* **enable**

  All users have access (default).
* **Disable**

  No users have access.
* **adminOnly**

  Only admin users have access.

To control the report option, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the `pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/analyzer/` directory and open the `analyzer.properties` file with any text editor.
2. Set the report options **showEmpty** property to **enable**.

   The **Show rows or columns with** drop-down menu displays in the **Report Options**dialog box, as shown in the following example:

   ![Analyzer Report Options dialog box](/files/AUUYLaYDp1bsQkZjnGhQ)
3. Choose one of the following options:
   * **Measure Data.**
   * **Measure and Calculated Measure data**
   * **Show all even blank measures**
4. Restart the Pentaho Server.
