Problem with scatter chart in 07.
I'm making thrust curves in Excel using scatter charts. I've got tables that
have thrust vs speed for each gear. When I limit the data series range to cells with data in them, everything works and each data series has the correct registry vs the x (speed) axis. But now I'm creating a generic spreadsheet where any user could cut and paste data from chassis dynos, so I've changed the tables that get filled out to be longer. I use if(location < 0, value, "") statements to keep unneeded cells from being filled with zeros, and now all the series get placed on the graphs based on data point number, not the X axis value. This really is a royal PITA, as in effect it's destroying the scatter plot. Any ideas here? |

I solved the problem with a hint from one of John Peltiers items on his web
site (a reference in his example on conditional charts). Seems that the =IF(condition,value,"") is what makes the scatter chart puke. When I changed the statements to =IF(condition,value,NA()) everything worked. Thanks John for the help you didn't know that you'd given me!
