All of my Excel 2003 chart tabs are showing up as blank. This includes both newly created chart tabs and chart tabs in existing spreadsheets, as well as both pivot table charts and regular charts. Screenshot: Oddly, charts that are on a regular worksheet tab show up fine -- only charts in their own tab are affected. I've run Excel Diagnostics and they found no problems. I have verified that Excel Options > Advanced > Display Option > Objects is set to All for each of the spreadsheets. How do I make chart tabs work again?

If there are some blank cells in a list, the relative chart of the list will be shown as below screenshot which is not pleasing to the eye. In this article, I will talk about how to skip the blank cells while creating a chart in Excel. Display blanks as zero in chart Skip blanks in chart Display blanks as zero in chartTo display blank cells as zeros in chart, you just need to check an option after creating the chart. 1. After creating the chart by the values, right click at the chart and click Select data form the popped context menu. See screenshot: 2. Then in the Select Data Source dialog, click Hidden and Empty Cells, and in the Hidden and Empty Cells Settings dialog, check Zero option. See screenshot: 3. Click OK > OK to close dialogs, and the blank cells have been displayed as zeros. See screenshot: Skip blanks in chartTo skip blanks directly in a chart, you need a formula before creating the chart. 1. Select a blank cell next to the values you want to create chart by, and type this formula =IF(ISBLANK(B2),#N/A,B2), B2 is the cell you use, and drag auto fill handle down to the cells you need to apply this formula. See screenshot: 2. Then keep the formula cells selected, click Insert tab, and insert a chart as you need in the Charts group. See screenshot: Then the blank cells have been ignored in the chart.
