How to remove empty values in excel chart when dates are not empty? -
i have chart 2 types of graphs. 1 shows number of items ordered , second 1 - damaged items rate each order. first graph use bar chart, second dot chart. question how remove empty/zero values in dot chart? "hide empty values" doesn't work because date column filled , used bar chart.
here data:

here chart:

tl;dr (most likely) returning ="" blank cell, need return #n/a.
there couple of ways resolve issue depending on how chart setup.
defaults
first, default, excel not plot cell empty. if create chart (bar, scatter, line, etc.) , delete data point, removed chart, not set 0. depends on hidden , empty setting defaults gaps.


what goes wrong
so if seeing data point blank cell, means 1 of couple things:
- the setting changed chart on how handle
hidden , empty cells - the cell not empty. possible if have formula returns
"". show 0 regardless ofhidden , emptysetting because not empty cell.

how fix
to resolve issue requires 1 of following changes:
- completely delete cell contents empty cell. assumes
hidden , empty cellsoption @ default ofgaps. - have formula return
#n/a, chart hide data point regardless of other settings.

- change
hidden , empty cellssettinggaps(instead ofzero). not affect bar chart. serve hide missing entries on dot plot. works if cell empty.
