    Empty cells not in chart

    Hello all,

    I have searched the internet but I kind get the right answer to my question. I'm trying to get empty cells out of the chart (without adjusting the source range).
    In the attchement you'll see what I mean. The chart already doesn't show the empty cells starting from 15 till 24. But I I want the chart to just show the x-axis till 14 as the rest are empty cells. I do not want to adjust the source of the chart because the 15 till 24 will be filled in automatically later this year and I want the chart to automatically refesh as the empty cells are being filled.

    Anyone know the answer to this?

    What chart type? It looks like a line chart to me. For line charts (and others with a category axis), I find that it is necessary to completely remove the cells from the source range in order to get the line axis to ignore them. This is where dynamic charting with dynamic named ranges is very useful: http://peltiertech.com/dynamic-charts/
