Preventing Null values from plotting in Excel Charts.
Hello EE,
I am working on creating a report on data that is constantly changing. I want to plot the only cells with records. In the attached spreadsheet, if i click on column B7 to show Group 1, there are 21 records that needs to be plotted. If i click on B7 to select Group 2 there are 6 records to be plotted. For group 2, I want to delete or hide cells that are not populated and only plot the cells that are populated with data. I am thinking this can be accomplished using vba. My goal is to create 2 separate reports for Group 1 and Group 2
Thanks in advance for your assistance

Thanks Subodh,
This does not work for me. It is showing #N/A. I do not want it to show. Is there a way to hide the empty cells and only plot where there are records?

Actually it is the easiest workaround this issue.
Don't worry about the #N/A errors which you see in the cells, you can hide them with the conditional formatting by making a new rule for conditional formatting using the formula below and set the font color exactly same as that of the fill color.
First select the range A13:C33 and use the formula given below for conditional formatting.

thanks again for staying with me on this. Although the data for blank cells are not showing on chart, the space is still on the chart. Is there a way to make the chart grow with the chart instead of showing it as blank space on the chart?

Thank you very much Subodh. I really appreciate your help
You're welcome. Glad to help.
e.g. the formula in C13 should be like below......
Open in new window
Change all the formulas in the same way for column D,E,F,J,K,L and M.
