Default Don't include category X labels if row empty

Hi

I have a table that looks a bit like this:

ABC XYZ
General Review 2.8 0.5
2 Month Review
3 Month Review 2.6
ERIT Review 3.5
Physio Review 16 4
Pain Review
WAD Review
Low Back Review 4 2

Each month the number will change for each row, some months they will be
entirely blank, other months they will contain numbers.

I only want the chart to show the review type on the Category X axis if
there is data in either column ABC or XYZ. In other words, this month should
not show 2 Month Review, Pain Review or WAD Review.

I've been reading all the posts about dynamic charts - but that doesn't suit
because my zero values are dotted throughout the table - not just at the end.
Changing the formula to display #N/A doesn't work either - the label is
still there on the x-axis.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Sally

Select the range and apply an AutoFilter (Date menu Filter AutoFilter).
Click the down arrow next to ABC and select Nonblanks. The hidden rows with
blanks will not appear in the chart, because by default, hidden cells are
not plotted.
