Default Impossible? Not plotting NA()s

Hi,

I have no luck looking through the JPelltier website or other such sites so
can some-one please give me a clear indication of how I can change this. My
question is

- How can I stop a chart from leaving space for NA() or change an IF formula
to show something that the chart will completely ignore?

From C4:P20 I have a results table (with titles in row 3). The table is
filled using formulas to index through a master sheet. Depending on the
criteria selected there may be 2 to 200 items in the table. To cope for all
eventualities the formula has an =if(cell x=””;NA();do something) to keep it
tidier.

My chart, (showing results plus norm, upper and lower limit), has the
following dynamic named ranges set

Chart labels - =OFFSET(Diagramme!ChartValues;0;-1)
Chart Values - =OFFSET(Diagramme!$G$3;1;0;COUNTA(Diagramme!$G:$G)-1;1)
Max - =OFFSET(Diagramme!$H$3;1;0;COUNTA(Diagramme!$H:$H)-1;1)
Min - =OFFSET(Diagramme!$J$3;1;0;COUNTA(Diagramme!$J:$J)-1;1)
Norme - =OFFSET(Diagramme!$I$3;1;0;COUNTA(Diagramme!$I:$I)-1;1)

I need the formula in all 200 rows, but if I have a chart with only 2 data
points my plot is stuck to the left of the chart, (effectively my x-axis does
1-200 with data in 1-2). It leaves the space for all the #NAs without
plotting anything.

How can I stop a chart from leaving space for NA() or change the formula to
show something that the chart will completely ignore?

Thanks
