How do I get source data to show on a chart only if greater than z
I am creating a chart that depicts fleet expenses. I want the chart to draw
from the selected source data only if the value is greater than zero. I am knew to Excel and this has stumped me. I have 22 various entries for expenses (oil change, etc.). I want the chart to check the table and if there is an entry - chart it. Is this possible? |

In place of zero (or empty cell) use =NA(). This displays as #N/A and is
ignored by chart Alternatively, activate the chart; use Tools | Options and open the Chart option tab. There you can specify how empty cells are to be treated best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Mark" wrote in message ...

How do I get source data to show on a chart only if greater than z
If cell is actually blank:
Go to Tools-Options-Chart Change it plot empty cells either as gaps, or interpolated. If cell has a 0 in it: Change the formula that generates the 0 so that is displays #N/A instead, i.e. =IF(A1B1,NA(),A1-B1) -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Mark" wrote: I am creating a chart that depicts fleet expenses.
