Excel 2003 - Skip a cell
How do I skip a blank cell? I have a column of dates (Col A) and a column of
numbers (Col C). Col C has irregular blanks. I want to copy these to another spreadsheet without the blanks in Col C and without the corresponding dates in Col A. My purpose is to creat a column chart without the gaps caused by blank cells. The IF function will return a blank for a blank but I want to skip the blank. |

Hi
For the chart use NA() instead of blanks So, for your copy =IF(Sheet1!A1="",NA(),Sheet1!A1) -- Regards Roger Govier Ed wrote: How do I skip a blank cell?

Set up Filter (Data-Filter) for you entire range of data
Then select to show all non-blanks in column C Once this is done select the data range and copy-paste to a new sheet. The rows with Column C blank are not selected and do not paste. -- If this helps, please remember to click yes. "Ed" wrote: How do I skip a blank cell?

I tried this and the blank cells now have #NA in them. When I chart that it
stills leaves a gap between two columns on my chart.

I tried this but was unable to filter the data. Not sure I understand the
filter process. Also, how do you select all non-blanks? Thanks for your help.

Excel 2003 - Skip a cell
I figured out how to filter the data and to select for all non-blank cells
and then copy the data to my chart data spreadsheet. But I continue to add additonal data. Will I have to copy and paste each time I add new data or is there a formula that I can use to automate the process?
