Hello,

I have a similar problem about displaying zeroes, although mine is not to
display the category label when the value is zero but I don't want to use
filter to hide zeroes in the worksheet.

Please help.

Thanks

If all you're showing is a value, use a number format that suppresses zeros,
something like

0;;;
0.0%;;;
$#,##0;;;

or whatever. Read about number formats he

So, is there a way to NOT show 0 values in a pie chart?
I want to data labels (other than 0), but I don't want to delete the
labels
for the 0 values because I want the chart to update when the data changes
(so
in the future if one of the 0s becomes 0, the data label should return).

The Ignore Empty Cells setting:
- Applies to Line and XY charts for Interpolate/Blank/Zero
- Applies to Column/Bar charts for Blank/Zero
- Applies to Area charts for Interpolate/Zero
- Does not apply at all to Pie charts
- Only applies to empty cells, not to cells containing "" or NA()
NA() results in interpolated lines in Line and XY charts
NA() is treated as zero in other charts
"" and other text and errors are treated as zero in all charts.

I'm having a similar problem, using a pie-in-pie chart on Excel 2003
(SP3).
I'm using NA() - this returns the #NA error
BUT when I go to tools options to set the chart preference to ignore
empty, the option is grayed out (not functional). Is this due to
security
settings (I am on a workplace computer), or is there something else I
can
check?

Hi,

In your formula use the function NA() instead of False.

Cheers

I have a chart that is tracking sales for the month, (by day) the

has
Zero values due to an "IF" statment that has a false or the
reference
cell is
not yet filled in resulting in a "zero value"
the chart has a trend line that is tending based on all the
remaining
zero
values .

I have changed the Chart options to not display zeros, but this
doesnt
solve
it.
