cell.

If you are using formulas for the actuals, try something like;
=IF(C3=0,NA(),C3)

Hi,

I followed the directions given to hide zero values in chats and tables in
Excel 2000. I used the chart wizard when i created them. But the zero
values continue to be shown on the chart. For example, I have data for
target values versus actual values for events. The targeted numbers go
from
July 2005 - June 2005. The actual data values are from July 2005 - Nov
2005. I used the tools optionschartplot visible cells only.

Any guidance on what I am doing incorrect?
I used the NA solution and it worked on the graph but the spreadsheet doesnot add up now as it now has NA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
