chart is grayed out
I have one spreadsheet where, whenever I am working in cells, the chart turns
into a big gray square. If I click anywhere in the chart, it reappears, but then goes back to gray as soon as I click a cell. I have never seen this before. Any ideas about how/why and what I can do to fix it? It's pretty complex and I would rather not redo it from the source data. |

Hi,
Make sure you have the setting Show all objects as it sounds like you have Show placeholders set. Use Tools Options View Show all objects.
