Tools/Options/Charts-Active cells is dimmed. Want to select leave
I tried using #N/A in equation IF(B7=0,#N/A,B7) as to not show zeros in
chart, but still showed zeros. When I went to Tools/Options/Charts, the Active Cells area was dimmed and I could not select "leave gaps". Any suggestions? Thanks, |

Hi,
Was the chart selected when you did ToolsOptions ? Cheers Andy teds wrote: I tried using #N/A in equation IF(B7=0,#N/A,B7) as to not show zeros in chart, but still showed zeros.

Oops. No I didn't have it selected. Thanks. But I am having problems
setting up the Conditional Formating to hide the #N/A. I tried making color white when cell=#N/A, but didn't work. Could you give me an example? Thanks again.

Assuming formula is in C7 the conditional formatting would be,
FormulaIs: =ISNA(C7) Cheers Andy teds wrote: Oops. No I didn't have it selected. Thanks. But I am having problems setting up the Conditional Formating to hide the #N/A.

Tried Formula is = isna(e54), and it returned Formula is -= "isna(e54)" .
Then made formating background blue just to see if it was recognizing value, but did not get blue background. Actual formula in cell was IF(e54=0,#N/A,e54). What should I try next?

But if your worksheet formula is testing E54 for zero you need to apply
the formula to the cell that contains IF(e54=0,#N/A,e54) , which I would assume is E55. So CF FormulaIs would be =ISNA(E55) teds wrote: Tried Formula is = isna(e54), and it returned Formula is -= "isna(e54)" .

I apologize, but in my attempt to simplify, I have caused confusion.
In E54 I have =IF(SUM(B54:D54)=0,#N/A,SUM(B54:D54)), which now gives the answer #N/A. In CF I entered Formula is = isna(e54), and it returned Formula is -= "isna(e54)" . I then formated cell in CF to be light blue color with red font just to see if it recognized #N/A (goal is to have blank cell & not show zero value on chart). When closing CF, I still have #N/A showing, and the cell color is still white with black font. I am probably missing something very simple, but don't know what it is.

Ah I think I see the problem.
Make sure you include the ='s when entering the formula in CF. Otherwise it will end up encased in double-quotes.
