It is possible when u have prompt in prompt page... suppose
u take one list in main page... the list query u will assign
the page.... and take conditional block and drag the after
list and take one text item drop after conditional block...

the year in prompt page as text prompt.... go to conditional
explorer u will take string write condition like this...

Suppose there is no data in the report, when you run the
report, only the title will be displayed, data part will be
empty.
In such scenario, you have tell the user that the selection
criteria is not met with the business rules.
Eg. user run "monthly stock report" with selection of "week-
15" as time selection, will not display the record.
because, this report associated with calander month, so any
month has to be selected.. Last date of the month is
considered for monthly stock report.
