Hi guys, I've been trying to work this out no no avail. I have a drop-down list that references a Table with 4 categories. The first space blank cell is shown as a space, but any spaces thereafter are not shown. Im guessing it's using some sort of UNIQUE searching under the hood. Is there a way to show ALL blank cell gaps as spaces?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Short of putting a different of spaces in each empty cell, I don't think so.
