    You don't explain what "it fails" means. I notice that you are not using the columns with the N/A errors, but are using columns that return empty string "". As kaper's example shows, one usually uses columns with numbers and N/A's to achieve conditional formatting of line charts. I recommend this tutorial: https://peltiertech.com/conditional-...-excel-charts/

    Re: Colour line chart?

    Let me remind what I wrote in one of your earlier threads - namely post #8 here: https://www.excelforum.com/excel-for...ml#post4960790

    Focus on paragraph just below the formula.

    Of course there is a way for those looking for ready made solutions (but more detailed description would be needed there too): http://www.excelforum.com/commercial-services/ but to use it you shall first http://www.excelforum.com/payments.php

    But again - a good description is the key to success - none of us "sits in your head"
