How do I plot "" as empty rather than zero in a chart
I have an if statement that either populates cells with a numeric value or
blank, i.e. "". I then want to chart the result. For example, I might have the values 56, "",85,75,"" in cells A1:A5. When I plot this, the values "" are interpreted as zero. If I truly have empty cells my plot is fine, only plotting the 56,,85,75, . But since there is 'something' in the cell, i.e. "", it wants to plot something. Is there a way to either populate the empty cells with a code of some kind that would not plot, or somehow tell the chart wizard to not to plot "" ? I'm using Office 03 at work and 07 at home. I have the same problem with both. Thanks |
