Live charts in Excel: for future dates, lines drop to zero -
i run live market charts in excel. graph indicator runs live data fed broker through dde facility in microsoft excel. works fine , happy - except 1 blemish hope can assist with.
the lines of graph (it line chart type) created in real time. present time , past time great, clean. unfortunately in period ahead i.e. hasn't arrived yet, lines of graph drop 0 , crawl along x-axis future. spoils current reading of graph.
is there way can prevent happening lines (properly called curves) exist in past , current time period. worksheet set not show 0 values in formulae, charting facility not appear have function.
if put #n/a
in cell (using =na()
function) points not drawn.
to hide ugliness of cells having #n/a in them future dates can use number format or conditional formatting hide error values. adding formula conditional formatting of
=isna(a1)
and setting format white font on white background. makes cells #n/a in them appear blank. versions of excel prior conditional formatting being available can same thing number format in reverse. i.e., set font white cells invisible default , set number format to:
[black]0.0;[red]-0.0;[black]0.0;[black]
which should make isn't error appear either black or red font colour. regards
