    How to suppress the showing of #N/A values?

    Hi,

    I want to suppress the showing of #N/A values in the Spreadsheet which result from the use of NA() function. The reason that I used the NA() function is that: I need to plot two columns of data as a line chart. I set missing values as NA() so that unwanted horizontal labels are not to be shown.

    So I need to find a way to stop showing missing values as #N/A in both the Spreadsheet and the chart.

    Do you have an idea?

    You can apply conditional formatting to the cells and use a formula:

    =ISNA(cell_ref)

    to turn the foreground colour to white (if on a white background).

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Pete, this is nice approach. I'll apply it in my case.
