You can connect missing data in Excel charts by adjusting the chart's settings to handle empty cells.
Here's how:
- Select the chart: Click anywhere within the chart to select it.
- Go to the 'Select Data' dialog box: Under the 'Design' tab, click 'Select Data'.
- Choose 'Hidden and Empty Cells': In the 'Select Data Source' dialog box, click the 'Hidden and Empty Cells' button.
- Select 'Connect data points with line': Choose the option 'Connect data points with line' from the dropdown menu.
- Click 'OK' twice: Confirm your selections by clicking 'OK' on both dialog boxes.
This will cause Excel to connect the data points in your chart, even if there are missing data values. This is particularly helpful when working with line charts and scatter charts, where a continuous line is often desired.
