Problem Plotting/Calculating with #NA
Jon,
Do you know of another workaround? While this will work for most
applications, I need to plot so much data that this isn't a viable option for
me.

Jon,
Thank you for your help. However the true problem I have is persisting. I
apologize. I was trying to find the answer for the workaround and not the
actual problem.
If I have a N/A within a data set (1, 2, 3, N/A, 8, ...) excel will
interpolate and not leave it blank as it does when N/A is on the edges. If
I
use "" instead, then the lines go to zero. How can I chart it to leave
the
area blank?

Thank you,

Make your life easy. Have two ranges, one which retains #N/A for
graphical
display, and another that converts it to "" for tabular display. Since
both
ranges are linked to the same original data, both show the same values in
the cells where there aren't #N/A or "".

Hello,
I have a series of formula's that I need to exclude N/A values in the
calculations. This are the equations I'm trying:
IF(ISNA(A1:A14),,AVERAGE(A1:A14))
AVERAGE(A1:A14)
As it stands now I have to highlight the formulas -F5 -Special
-Formulas/Errors -OK . Delete. This wouldn't be a problem but I sort
the
data so I have to do this each time I want to view the data from a
different
sort.
If you could find a way to have the formula's ignore the N/A I would
really
appreciate it.
