The easiest and quickest way to do this is to drag a label on to side panel under tableView. Create a outlet for the label and the tableView and add a if statement to hide and show the label and table as needed. Alternatively you can add tableView.tableFooterView = UIView(frame: CGRect.zero) this to you viewDidLoad() to give an empty table the perception that it is hidden if the table and background view have the same colour.
