I have a chart that takes data from a list. Some of the data fields have #NA.
How do I get i to ignore those details so it only plots based upon the true figures Abbey 0 First National1 RBS 1 #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A #N/A |

Generate dynamic names to reference the data ranges used by the charts. If
you've got this data in columns A and B, you could define these names (Insert menu > Names > Define) Name: MyVals RefersTo: =OFFSET($B$1,0,0,COUNT($B$1:$B$65536),1) Name: MyCats RefersTo: =OFFSET(MyVals,0,-1) Use these names as the source data of the chart series. Go to Chart menu > Source Data > Series, select the appropriate series, for X Values (or Category Labels) enter =Sheet1!MyCats (or if there's a space in the sheet name, ='Sheet 1'!MyCats), and for Y Values, enter =Sheet1!MyVals (or ='Sheet 1'!MyVals).
