Charting cells that have been grouped
 

When charting a large range of cells, which have been grouped in sets of 12
for convenience and easy review, the chart using this data is blank. If I
ungroup the cells, the chart shows the data.

Is there a way around this? Why can't a chart show the data even if the
data is hidden?

Charting cells that have been grouped
 

I don't know what you mean by "grouped" cells. Are you hiding cells? By
default Excel doesn't display hidden data on a chart.

To change this behavior: Select the chart, go to Tools menu Options
Chart, and uncheck Plot Visible Cells Only.
