    Remove Category Data Labels in Pie Chart That are 0%

    I have 40 pie chart categories, 6 currently have data. This is a living document and I'd like the categories that have no data be removed from the pie chart. It's a hot mess.

    I've tried:
    0%;;;
    0%;-0%;;;
    #,#00;;;
    Changing my chart to return "N/A" or nothing for zero values


    All of these only hide the 0% and not the category labels.

    Hi,

    I think you will need to use either a dynamic range and possibly a separate formula range to return the actual data set you want plotted.

    I would also respectfully suggest that you really ought to be using a different chart type. If you have more than 2, or at most 3, data points, a pie chart is almost certainly not the right choice.

    As xlnitwit suggests you will need to create a dynamic range. I agree an alternative chart type would be better if you have that many slices.
