Launch Excel and open the spreadsheet that. I also cover using IFERROR to suppress expected errors and using IF with the logical functions AND, OR and NOT. While trendlines typically reach from the initial data point to the last, you can extend them beyond these spots. I have an article that discusses the IF function in greater detail. For example, it will copy the contents of D3 to E3. If Excel finds something in the cell, it will simply copy the cell. The IF function looks at the contents of cell D3 and IF D3 equals “” (in other words a blank cell) then it changes the current cell to #N/A. To achieve this, we will use the fact that when Excel sees #N/A in a cell, it does not include it in a chart. The second method of ensuring that Excel charts data containing large numbers of gaps or empty cells correctly is to use a formula. Method 2: Use a Formula to Convert Empty Cells to #N/A
