Hello,

I have a set of data, basically this years data and last years data
broken out by 52 weeks.

Of course I have all of last years 52 weeks of data however this year I
only have up to 26 weeks. I made a 2 line graph over 52 weeks this year
vs. last year.

Each cell either has a number or a zero (zero due to no data past this
years week 26). Since there are zero's, it drops the line chart to the
zero marker on the graph.

How do you make it so that the line "just" stops where it see's the
zeros.

Please note that the cells that are referenced have "SUMIF" formulas in
there linked to a master raw data sheet. The notion here is never have
to update the graph sheet....just have it automatically update as the
raw data is updated.

Please advise.

Two solutions:
1) use a dynamic chart that automatically extends the range when you add
data - interested, please let us know
2) in the blank cell enter =NA(), this displays as #N/A. As you get more
data, overwrite the NA formula
best wishes
