    line chart, first few points no line shown

    hey guys,

    i have a chart attached and for some reason, the line doesn't connect from the first point all the way to the last point

    been trying to figure it out and running out of ideas

    http://screencast.com/t/pJgTLpKNSSvh (link added b/c attached image doesn't work)


    any help would be appreciated


    thanks,
    harry

    Sorry but an image is useless here. We need to see your Excel file so we can see the data for the chart and also how the chart itself is built.

    Fill in the blank cells in column B with

    =NA()

    Does that work?

    Right click anywhere in the chart
    On the pop-up menu, select "Select data..."
    At the bottom left of the dialog box click "Hidden and empty cells"
    On the dialog box select "Connect data points with line"

    To steal from Arthur C. Clarke, "Sufficiently advanced experience is indistinguishable from genius."

    And we all know that experience is just another word for "made a lot of mistakes".....
