Default Hiding zero values in charts

I've created a pamphlet template of sorts in excel that sources a dataset.
I'll be updating the dataset every 7 1/2 weeks to create a pamphlet for a
number of different campuses. I have certain graphs and charts in the
template that have zero counts/percentages that I'd like to "hide". For
example, I have a list of the number of students by program in one table.
Some campuses don't have certain programs, so they're showing up with zero
values. I'd like them to be hidden to decrease the clutter in the table....I
only want the programs with students in them to be listed. I have the same
issue with several graphs. I'm working in Excel 2007.

Replace the empty cell with =NA(). This displays as #N/A and is ignored by
the chart engine
Unhappy with how the table now prints? Just use conditional formatting to
give cells with NA() a font that matched the cell background and hence is
invisible.
best wishes
