How do I ignore Graphs zero values.
I have a variety of tables in excel that sum approx 20 sheets but
occasionally these have a zero value. The graphs link off these tables and show drops to zero on these occurences. How do I get the graph to ignore the zero values. The source table formula is too long to put an if arguement in. |

How do I ignore Graphs zero values.
Hi,
That will not work is the cells actually contain zero because by definition containing zero is NOT empty. The zeros will either need to be removed from the cells or replaced with NA(). =IF(SUM(myrange)=0,NA(),SUM(myrange)) Use conditional formating to hide the #N/A Cheers Andy R..VENKATARAMAN wrote: select the chart. goto tools options and check plot empty cells as any of the three chices given there.

Working thanks - as you said, already tried the first suggestion but as it
was a formulae, it still showed. "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, That will not work is the cells actually contain zero because by definition containing zero is NOT empty.

How do I ignore Graphs zero values.
I have tried doing a conditional format on the #N/A but it does not seem to
work. What do you need to specifically put in the conditional format. I have tried #N/A, NA(), N/A ?

Use the Is Formula option, and this formula, where the active cell is A1
