problems with scatter plot
Is it possible to create a scatter plot using a range of
data but have it ignore a cell if it's blank ? I have a range of data copied @ pasted from another source. The 'blank' cells seem to be behaving as zeros, resulting in a problem with the scatter plot. If I click in the blank cell and delete, the plot reports correctly. I'm not going to be able to manually remove the blanks, however. Is there a way I can have Excel ignore the blanks when creating the chart ? Using excel 2002 |

problems with scatter plot
Thanks - works great !
-----Original Message----- lynn, There are possibly unprintable characters or spaces in the blank cells that you are working with. Let us say you are pasting values for the scatter graph based on cells A1:B10. Now enter the following formula in c1 and copy to c1:d10 =IF(ISERROR(VALUE(a1)),NA(),a1) Create the scatter graph based on c1:d10 instead of a1:b10 but continue to paste to a1:b10 This should prevent blanks and other characters from showing up as zeros. - Lenin --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ . |
