Chart question
I have a series of data number that goes into a nice doughnut type chart.
The data is dynamic. Sometimes some of the data items will be zero. How can I set it so that the items that are zero do not display on the chart? Thanks |

You might use a helper column and have a formula of type =if(a1=0,NA(),a1)
Any #N/A value do not appear on charts. rgds André "Johnfli" wrote in message ... I have a series of data number that goes into a nice doughnut type chart. The data is dynamic.

Chart question
Hi,
Within a donut chart zero sections are not visible. But if you have data labels or a legend then their information is still displayed. Here are some pages on suppressing information. They are both based on pie charts by the principles for donut are the same. http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=390 http://www.andypope.info/charts/piezeros.htm Cheers Andy Johnfli wrote: I have a series of data number that goes into a nice doughnut type chart.

Chart question
True for line and XY charts. Try it with a column, pie, or donut chart. The
value is interpreted as zero, but if you have data labels, the #N/A shows up. You're better off with zeros and a number format like "0;;;" which shows positive values, but not zero or negatives. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Andre Croteau" wrote in message ...
