    Skipping cells that have formula returning blank in a plot

    Excel 2016

    I am trying to plot a chart that finds the end of populated cells.
    The problem I am facing is that since all my cells (SETUP.chartTOPICS columns A and B) are all populated with a formula to update when Database column E is updated.
    I created a chart using a definedName using offset so it also continues to update.
    You see the resulting plot has a lot of empty entries, I'd like it to dynamically change the range based on the column entries.

    Is this possible?

    Structure the formulas so they return an error instead if a blank. Charts ignore error cells.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    I tried using NA() in the value if false entry, but my plot still includes #N/A.
    Can you provide an example?

    I changed the named range definition and now it works.

    FROM: =OFFSET(SETUP.chartTOPICS!$A$4,0,0,COUNTA(SETUP.chartTOPICS!$A$4:$A$1000))
    TO: =OFFSET(SETUP.chartTOPICS!$A$4,0,0,COUNTIF(SETUP.chartTOPICS!$A$4:$A$1000,"<>#N/A"))
