Charts for 2008 with No Values
Professionals, I want to continue my 2007 charts through 2008 but without
values until the time arrives. My charts just show 0's for all of 2008 even though I clicked on tools, options, chart, and plot emty cells as not plotted (leave gaps). How can I do this? Oct 2007 - 2 Nov 2007 - 5 Dec 2007 - 9 Jan 2008 - NOT PLOTTED Feb 2008 - NOT PLOTTED Thanks in advance. |

Charts for 2008 with No Values
Replace your 2008 entries with #N/A, or =NA()

Charts for 2008 with No Values
Hi,
If the cells contain formula use NA() instead of "". As any text content will be treated as zero.

Charts for 2008 with No Values
David and Andy,
Thanks for your posts. Whether I use #N/A or =NA() I get the value 0 on my chart and it is plotted so it looks like the value has gone down to zero. I do not even want the line after November since we have not yet closed 12/2007.

Try using a dynamic range, say myData for
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,1,0,COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A:$A,"<"&T ODAY()),1) and use =Sheet1!myData in the chart -- --- HTH Bob (there's no email, no snail mail, but somewhere should be gmail in my addy) "TinleyParkILGal" wrote in message ...

Bob,
I am not very advanced using excel. I do not know what to do with your information or where to put any of this. I do not know what myData is or where any of your example in the chart. I do not know what =Offset or =Sheet1!myData is or where to us it.

Charts for 2008 with No Values
The problem with TinleyParkILGal chart was the actual chart type being used.
After using NA() in the cells as advised the line still dropped to zero. This was caused by the line chart being of the sub-type Stacked line. Changing the chart allowed the NA() to function as a point not plotted. Cheers Andy -- Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info "TinleyParkILGal" wrote in message ...
