Default 2007- unwanted column chart n/a labels displaying

The advice about using NA() in a formula to hide a data point works fine for
line or XY charts. The best advice for a column or bar chart is to use ""
instead.

Interesting. I made a Line chart with =NA() and the points were joined (as
expected)
When I added labels, the #N/A did NOT appear
A copy of the same charge was changed to a Column chart and the #N/A does
appears
But then, with a column chart you could just leave the cell blank.
What type of chart are you using?
best wishes

I am using Excel 2007 and have found that I cannot get the NA() labels to
NOT
display. As desired, there is no column where the cell values are na()
but
the labels for those cells are displaying as "N/A". How do I keep these
labels from appearing?
