Hello all

I am trying to create a chart like below. Actual numbers as a solid line and forecast numbers as a dotted line.

I have used formulas to automate the table below that draws numbers:

My formula is "=IF(C$3="Actual", B30 / 1000, "")", trying to remove the blanks. But the chart ends up treating all blanks as zeros looking like below:

I can manually delete all zero values and the chart works, but I would like it automated. Is there a way to automatically tell excel to not show the zeros?

Thanks

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
HI
In your formula instead of double quotes put NON.DISP().
If I'm not mistaken in English it should be #N/A

HI
Excuse me. I understood something else.
To do what you ask you need VBA. In the file I attach, try changing the date in the yellow cell and you will see that the graph adjusts.

HI
I humbly apologize for the forgetfulness.
This is the code to insert into the "Foglio1" module
VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
  If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B1")) Is Nothing Then
  Dim vAddress As Range, i As Long, dt As Double, pt As Double
  dt = Cells(1, 2).Value
  ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Activate
  With ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1)
    Set vAddress = ActiveSheet.Range(Split(Split(.Formula, ",")(1), "!")(1))
    For i = 1 To vAddress.Cells.Count
      pt = Cells(3, i + 1)
      If pt > dt Then
        .Points(i).Format.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
        .Points(i).Format.Line.DashStyle = msoLineDashDotDot
      Else
        .Points(i).Format.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255)
        .Points(i).Format.Line.DashStyle = msoLineSingle
      End If
    Next i
  End With
  Cells(1, 1).Select
  End If
End Sub

Hio,
Mario
