How do I get an Excel chart to ingore zero values created by funct
I'm using SUM functions to calculate monthly sales totals. Currently most of
the results are zeros. How do I include the entire data range in my chart (so I don't have to redo it every month) but make sure that the chart doesn't include any zero values? I've tried hiding all zeros in my worksheet, but the chart doesn't recognise these as blank cells. I'm using Excel 2003 |

Drew:
I repeat my answer to another question here again. There is an elegant solution, called "dynamic named range", that works with the OFFSET command. Search the web with this jargon, or check out Jon Peltier's website; it contains links to many others where you find instructions how to do it.

If it's a line or XY chart, and the zeros are all at the end of the range,
change your formula so it returns #N/A instead of 0: =IF(SUM(A1:A10)=0,NA(),SUM(A1:A10)) The #N/A errors are ugly in the sheet, but can be hidden using conditional formatting. The chart doesn't show these values. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "BOBODD" wrote in message ...
