This proved to be super useful on an area chart to stop the drop off to zero.

=VALUE(TEXT(formula, “0;-0;-9999999;”))

Then set the vertical axis minimum to 0.

Juan Carlos - It's not an easy task to hide the legend for series which are hidden in this way. What you could do, is apply a data label to the last point of each plotted series, and remove the legend. This will only show labels for plotted series, and labels make it easier to identify series than using a legend.

Hi Jon, I have learned a lot of things from your page, since I was school, and never had a question about the procedures you do, but a few days ago, in my work (civil engineering) I did a worksheet to calculate the bearing capacity of the soil, and use the tip you gave about using check boxes for graphing, every works great, but a (I suposse) simple question arrive to me, because I have could not solve.

If I have several check boxes and I try to plot some of them, not all, always the data labels appear and I dont know how to blank them, and make apear just when they are used.

Is there a way to do it?
Don´t know how to attach the file, but i suppose this is a simple and mortal question for you, thanks a lot for your knowledge. Sorry for my English.

hi its not complicated ,

just go to .. data labels in charts ….select format data labels … in that select the option numbers … select custom .. give the format as “#,###;-#,###” then click add .. all the zeros will be ignored in the barchart……..It Works ….
