Excel should STOP the "zero or negative ..in log plot" error msg

[HQDEARTHY]

Is there anyway to make the "zero and negative numbers cannot be plotted in
log plots..." error message? It is really annoying as it goes off every 5
seconds when a plot has numbers like that. When dealing with big databases
it is not a big deal to have zeros in it and still want it plotted as a log
plot.

Even Microsoft cannot override the laws of mathematics - what would you have
Excel use for LOG(zero)?
If you replace 0 by =NA() , which displays as #N/A, you will achieve the
desired effect - the point is ignored in the chart
