Missing Data Options
I am trying to use Tools - Options - Chart. I want to use the "not Plotted" option. When I click on it my chart does not change. This happens after I've selected the chart and then trying to make these changes.
What am I doing wrong? I want to create a chart that ignores missing data, and gives me a trend line based on the data I have. I've had my nose in my Excel "bible" but can't find the answer. I greatly appreciate any tips. Jim

Re: Missing Data Options
Jim -
If you have a formula in the cell that returns "", that is not missing data, that is a very short text string, and Excel treats it as zero. If you replace "" with NA(), you get an ugly #N/A error in the worksheet, but most chart types ignore it. Use conditional formatting to hide the error in the sheet: http://contextures.com/xlCondFormat03.html#Errors - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ jimsmith888 wrote: > I am trying to use Tools - Options - Chart.
