Thank you guys for your input, NA() does work for not plotting zero
values
but now my table is is littered with #N/As. Is it possible to have a to
eliminate this display of the #N/As from the table. Otherwise I will make
a
hidden table with NA().

If the "blank" is the result of "" in a formula, Tools menu Options
Chart tab 'Plot Empty Cells As' will have no effect.

I can not figure out how not to plot data that referances blank cells
as
zero's. I have a worksheet that links to tables with data orginized
by
size
(mm) from big to small. This worksheet contains a scatter plot graph
that
looks at all sizes in the table. Typically not all sizes have data.
The
only way I can figure out to remove the zero values from the blank
cells
is
by manualy selecting these cells and clearing the content. I have
tried
several attempts at differant logic ( if(isnumber(A1),A1,""), and
if(isblank(A1),"",A1) ect. and nothing seems to work. I could use
conditional formating but I would like to keep things as simple as
possible
