Hi there

I have created a line graph using cells with formulas in them however some
of the formulas return #DIV/0! so I used an IF formula to get rid of these.
However it doesn't matter if I ask the IF formula to display the result as a
"" or 0 (or anything else for that matter) instead of #DIV/0! as on the graph
the result ends up as showing a value at the bottom of the graph. If I have a
few of these I just end up with a long line at the bottom of the graph until
I get proper values and it shoots up!

Apart from deleting the data / formula from the cells so no value shows,
does anyone know how to stop this from happening?


thank you

Hi,

If you use NA() instead of "" or zero, then data markers in a line chart
will not be displayed. The line itself will interpolate between valid
points.
For a true gap in a line you will need to clear the cell of any content.

Cheers
Andy
