Is it possible in Excel 2003 to make a cell with a formula, that has the
outcome zero, to appear as an empty cell? I am making a line graphic but I
want the cells with zero not added in the graphic. How is this possible?

Change your formulas to return the #N/A error instead of 0, which XL will
not graph.

=IF(SUM(A1:A20),SUM(A1:A20),#N/A)

=IF(A20*A10,A20*A10,#N/A)

here is another way to do this
for example

in column a you have jobs estimated and column b you have number of men working and column c would be the total hours worked (column a * column b) hide column c and use column d for the totals
put this formula in column d

=if(c1=0,"",c1) this will only show a value in d1. if b*a = 0 then nothing shows up in d.

i hope this helps.

Thanks, that was just the answer I was looking for!

Dear Bob,

Was already aware of that option, but then zero still appears in a graphic.
The answer of RagDyer gave me what I needed. Thanks for the effort, though!
