False if statement in series results in zero value in chart
I'm using an if statement within a data series that I then chart (excel
2003). The if statement is something like =if(A1=5,D2+D3,""). If the statement is false, I would expect nothing to display in the cell which is indead the case. However, when I plot the series in a line graph, it plots that point as a Zero value. Using a =Isblank(Cell #) gives me a false which leads me to believe that the cell is truely not blanked. How do I get the formula to make the cell empty in the eyes of the chart? The Options in the Tools drop down for not plotting blank cells is checked already (Chart Tab). |

David - Thank you for the Help; That worked and with some Conditional
formatting I was able to only show the relevant data in the series. "David Biddulph" wrote: =if(A1=5,D2+D3,NA()) -- David Biddulph "GoingBonkers" wrote in message ...
