Default linear charting with zeros

Hi,

You could use conditional formatting to display the cells contents in
the same colour as the cells fill colour.

Cheers

OK, but then the column with the formula displays #N/A instead of (what I
had before) a space.

Can the display of #N/A be set to not show in the cells?

Hi,

You need to adjust your formula so it evaluates to #N/A rather than zero.

=IF( <test , <value , NA() )

Line charts will not display markers for #N/A and the line is interpolated
between valid points.

Cheers

Have a line chart covering many cells. Data is added to each cell daily.
The data cells use a formula. Problem is, the formula evaluates to zero
without a value in the formula's source cell. Thus, the line chart, for
future values, goes to zero.

Is there a way to have the line on the chart simply "end" without showing
zero out to the end of the data range?

Thx.
