Default 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,

Was the chart selected when you did ToolsOptions ?

Cheers

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)

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?
Thanks

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)
