Buenas tardes. ¿Alguien sabe una expresión equivalente? Saludos y gracias.

You have just shown them what they already know. The actual numbers are mildly interesting. But what decision can they make from this? Zilch. Nada. Zip.

absolutamente ninguna | nada de nada de nada
Explanation:
Creo que neceitas negar con énfasis lo que viene antes, por ejemplo:

¿... a qué decisión se puede llegar? ¡Absolutamente ninguna!

Clare que depende de cómo estructures la oración que precere a la negación.

Incluí "nada de nada de nada" porque podría servir, aunque no necesariamente en este contexto.
