    Unable to hide empty cells from a chart

    Ok, so here goes.

    I am creating a chart from lots of data but from this I need to create several others so I am unable to delete these lines (which is what I would normally do) I have a number of cells which are blank and I can't find how to remove these from the particular chart, is there a really easy way to do this?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Difficult to say without seeing your data layout.
    Personally I would create 'tables' that are fed from your main dataset and reference those with the charts.

    As far as I can remember, it's in Excel properties under charting..There is a radio button for interpolation..

    Thanks for that, however, the option to connect data points is greyed out??

    I have attached the chart for you.

    That's because it's a bar chart .............
