 The following template variables are available when expanding annotations and labels.
 
-| Name    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

-| $labels | The labels from the query or condition. For example, `{{ $labels.instance }}` and `{{ $labels.job }}`. This is unavailable when the rule uses a [classic condition]({{< relref "../../alerting-rules/create-grafana-managed-rule/#single-and-multi-dimensional-rule" >}}).                                                                                                                              |
-| $values | The values of all reduce and math expressions that were evaluated for this alert rule. For example, `{{ $values.A }}`, `{{ $values.A.Labels }}` and `{{ $values.A.Value }}` where `A` is the `refID` of the expression. If the rule uses classic conditions, then a combination of the `refID` and position of the condition is used. For example, `{{ $values.A0.Value }}` or `{{ $values.A1.Value }}` |
-| $value  | The value string of the alert instance. For example, `[ var='A' labels={instance=foo} value=10 ]`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

+| $labels | The labels from the query or condition. For example, `{{ $labels.instance }}` and `{{ $labels.job }}`. This is unavailable when the rule uses a [classic condition]({{< relref "../../alerting-rules/create-grafana-managed-rule/#single-and-multi-dimensional-rule" >}}).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
+| $values | The values of all reduce and math expressions that were evaluated for this alert rule. For example, `{{ $values.A }}`, `{{ $values.A.Labels }}` and `{{ $values.A.Value }}` where `A` is the `refID` of the expression. If the rule uses classic conditions, then a combination of the `refID` and position of the condition is used. For example, `{{ $values.A0.Value }}` or `{{ $values.A1.Value }}`. If a value can return no data then it is recommended to use either `{{ $values.A }}` where the missing value will show `<no value>` or an if statement to check if `A` exists when using `{{ $values.A.Labels }}` and `{{ $values.A.Value }}`. For example, `{{ if $values.A }}{{ $values.A.Value }}{{ end }}`. |
+| $value  | The value string of the alert instance. For example, `[ var='A' labels={instance=foo} value=10 ]`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
