How do I when plotting points of a graph avoid plotting the zero values.

During the start of a new period, there will be several zero values, how can
i aviod excel from plotting these zero values

Hi Lee,

I suggest that, unless the result you want *is* actually zero, you
don't have a formula that returns that value.

Better, IMO at least, to return Not Applicable (#N/A) if the result is
not (yet) applicable.

For example:

=IF(DataMonth>CurrentMonth,NA(),Result)

This has the advantage that any results that are not able to be
applied remain unplotted on a chart.

Hope that helps,

Alan.
