Hello everyone,

In my excel, I have some charts that have zeros in their values range. I would like to "hide" those datas. I've tried two methods but none works. First of all, go on my chart option, in design/select data/ hidden and empty cells / select either gaps or zeros. My zeros values still are in the Chart. In second, I tried to do an IF formula where when my value is zeros, it doesnt appear in my column so my chart would not take car of it. Sadly, it doesnt work and my chart still takes care of it...
Does anybody have a better Idea?
Thankss

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Try using an IF formula, but instead of setting the value to 0 or "", set it to NA()

e.g. =IF(A2=0,NA(),A2) copied down and use that new column as the data source for your chart.

Yes, I accidently wrote it in my native language thinking I was on a French server, that was my mistake and I apologize for that..

I'm assuming you have a line graph.

If that's the case, you have three options:
Option 1: a 0 or a ="" formula will plot as a 0 value
Option 2: a purely blank cell (i.e. no formula) will not plot. Instead, you'll get a break in the chart.
Option 3: an #N/A value will draw a straight line to connect the points on either side, essentially pretending that data point does not exist.
