    Chart empty values

    I have a chart where some of the data series comes from cells that have formulas but no value. My chart lines all plunge to zero even though there is no value in the cells. Is there a way to prevent this?

    Re: Chart empty values

    Are you saying you don't want to chart Apr - Sep as there is no data or simple you don't want a line dropping off to zero.

    If you don't want the points to show up if there isn't any data, then look into dynamic charts.

    If you are still having troubles, how about posting a small sample workbook so nobody has to recreate your data.

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    You will have to setup dynamic ranges to do this. If there are no values the line will drop to zero but there isn't a way to keep that from happening with empty data.

    I left the one chart with the sample to follow.

    Edit:

    Sorry, completely forgot that you can use NA() to not plot a line.

    Change E7 and to the right to >> =IF(E4="",NA(),(E6/E4))

    Do the same for row 19, row 31, and so on

    You will then have to update the formula in C7 to >> =AVERAGEIF(E7:P7,">0")
