Default Impossible? Not plotting NA()s

Since you're already using dynamic ranges, can you change the COUNTA
function to COUNT, and thus not count the NA's? Since all the NA's are at
the end of your data, I believe this would work.

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
