How do I prevent Excel from plotting a cell w/ a formula as a "ze.
I am setting up a trend chart for 2005 and want to setup the chart now so
that it updates each week as data is added. The problem I am having is that the chart is plotting all future "result" cells as "zeros" because of the formula in each cell. I am blanking out all future "result" column cells w/ (IF) logic statements w/ the (ISBLANK) function so nothing appears in the cell until the right date, but its still being plotted as a zero. Is there a way to prevent Excel from plotting these "formula only" cells as "zeros"? |

Hatchet_Jack,
Try a reference to "NA()" or "=NA()" somewhere in your formula where the result needs to be zero. Excel will not chart values where "NA()" or "=NA() is referenced. ---- Regards, John Mansfield http://www.pdbook.com "Hatchet_Jack" wrote: I am setting up a trend chart for 2005 and want to setup the chart now so that it updates each week as data is added.
