How do I hide data labels that show a zero value on histograms?
 

Hi,
I need to know how to hide data labels that show a zero value on
histograms.

On *line chart*, I've put "=NA()" instead of the zero returned by the
formula, and it functions, but using the same technique *with
histograms* I got "#N/A" displayed on the chart.
The only way to avoid it, it seems to me, it's leaving the cells blank,
but I need to keep formula inside.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Sara

The only way I can think of (other than VBA code) is to hide the rows
that contain the N/A (or you could just revert to ""). The easy way to
hide the rows would be with XL's filter capability (Data | Filter
Autofilter).

Thanks for the help,
but it still not function ... :( :
- reverting #N/A to "" in the table I got 0 on the chart, instead of
#N/A;
- I cannot hide the rows, since the N/A values can be positioned on
every cell of the table; I cannot know in advance.

Thanks anyway,
Sara
