Hi,
I experienced many times in Excel, when I create diagrams and selected my X and Y data, after some time I want to change the hidden and empty cells settings, and choose one of the options, gaps, zero, connect data points with lines, I realize that suddenly you can not choose all of the options anymore and sometimes just one option remains available, such as e.g. zero.
When I then create a complete new diagram from scratch, with the exact same X and Y data, and try to set the settings, I have all the options available.
This is quite annoying, because it would mean, that I have to create all my 5 diagrams from scratch again, set all the colors on the graphs, set all the formats on the axis data and so on. This would be a bigger work and I don't understand why suddenly these options disappear.
The diagram Chest is the existing one, where only Nullwerte (zeros) can be choosen:
When I created a new diagram from scratch (red one below) with the same X and Y data, I am suddenly able to choose the different options again:
I hope and expert knows why these options disappear after some time.
Thanks
Alex

@Sheen1255 What version of Excel do you have? You should see another option below the drop-down. I don't know why it gives you fewer options in the drop-down in those 2 cases, but maybe this issue has been fixed in a recent version. Go to Help > Check for Updates and make sure you install recent updates.
A more recent version should have the option for "Show #N/A....".
