2003 Excel Chart with zero data

[C Kreig]

I have a chart that shows the fiscal year. In the months that currently do
not have data it is charting to a zero for the month. How can I get the
chart not to show the next month's that have a zero for a value? The catch
is that some months maybe zero and the months that do not have a value are
currently empty. Below is the formula that I am currently using.

=IF(SUM('Global KPI Monitoring chart'!F7:F8)=0,IF(AND('Global KPI Monitoring
chart'!F7="",
'Global KPI Monitoring chart'!F8=""),"",0),SUM('Global KPI Monitoring
chart'!F7:F8))

Instead of an output of "", have the formula output the #N/A error (as charts
recognize this data as not applicable)

I believe something like this:

=IF(SUM('Global KPI Monitoring chart'!F7:F8)=0,IF(AND('Global KPI Monitoring
chart'!F7="",
'Global KPI Monitoring chart'!F8=""),NA(),0),SUM('Global KPI Monitoring
chart'!F7:F8))

If I do that, I get ?Name error

I got the formula to work, however it is still showing a value of zero on my
chart.
Any suggestions?

Hmm. You might want to take a look at dynamic charting techniques to help
limit the amount of data going into your chart.

It appears you are trying not only keep the data from months that have no
data from being plotted, but also keep those months from appearing on the
axis, correct?

I am doing a chart for fy and from Nov - Aug we do not have data. Instead
of the chart leaving the point blank where the data does not exist it
considers it a zero value and is charting it as a zero.
