no point

Useless to try

No point expresses futility—there's no purpose, benefit, or reason to do something: There's no point in arguing with him.

The phrase often precedes a gerund to dismiss an action as worthless: No point crying over spilled milk.

It can stand alone as a terse dismissal: Should we try again? No point.
