Display sign on a chart
 
How do you display or < signs on a chart, I am trying to put values on a
chart but some of them are <2 or 60 etc. These values are displayed as zero
on the chart. Is it possible to display values with < or signs before the
number?

Try using a custom number format.

Go to Format - Cells. On the Number Tab choose Custom from the Category
option. Type in:

<#,##;#,##

Hi,

Try this custom number format.

[<2]"<"#;[60]""#;0

Cheers
