I have done this but in an earlier discussion Andy suggested after doing
the
formula you: " Use conditional formating to hide the #N/A". THis is the
part
I cannot get to work. Whatever version of N/A I use I cannot fomat it.

Use the Is Formula option, and this formula, where the active cell is A1

=ISNA(A1)

I have tried doing a conditional format on the #N/A but it does not seem
to
work. What do you need to specifically put in the conditional format. I
have
tried #N/A, NA(), N/A ?

Working thanks - as you said, already tried the first suggestion but
as
it
was a formulae, it still showed.

Hi,

That will not work is the cells actually contain zero because by
definition containing zero is NOT empty.

The zeros will either need to be removed from the cells or replaced
with
NA().

=IF(SUM(myrange)=0,NA(),SUM(myrange))

Use conditional formating to hide the #N/A

I have a variety of tables in excel that sum approx 20 sheets but
occasionally these have a zero value.

The graphs link off these tables and show drops to zero on these
occurences.
How do I get the graph to ignore the zero values.

The source table formula is too long to put an if arguement in.
