line chart with NA() values
12 month line chart, with some values being 0. I am using an if statement that turns any 0 values to #N/A so they do not show on the graph (which is what I want). My problem arises when the 0 values fall in the middle of my data. So for example: 1) data for all months (Jan-Dec), the line shows across all 12 months; 2) I have data for only 6 months (Jul-Dec), the line starts in Jul and ends in Dec (perfect); 3) When I have data from Jan-Mar, and Oct-Dec, the line connects between Mar and Oct. I want 2 distinct lines with no line where there is no data (#N/A). Any suggestions? -- grime ------------------------------------------------------------------------ grime's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=19227 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=477328 |

There is not cell value that behaves exactly like an empty cell. You
can delete the cell formulas (if a dynamic chart you could write a macro to delete or restore the formula as apprpriate). Jerry grime wrote: 12 month line chart, with some values being 0.
