Problem with plot
I have a scatter chart with a single plot that gets its data from the formula
=E7/C7, which works great. But when C7 is blank or a zero, you get the #DIV/0! error. So I tried to clean it up and use =IF(C7=0,"0",E7/C7). But now it plots it as a 1 instead of a 0. When I revert back to the =E7/C7, it correctly plots it as a 0. Why would it plot it as a 1 when the false value makes it a zero? |

Problem with plot
Hi,
Why is your zero wrapped in quotes? Try =IF(C7=0,0,E7/C7) Normally text is plotted as zero so your formula should have worked. Is that the x or y value?

Problem with plot
DUH! Thanks, it worked great. It was the x value. I have y=1 so I get a
simple line chart with a floating point. Have a great day! Dan "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, Why is your zero wrapped in quotes?
