How do I clear a cell instead of blanking it.

Here is my current formula:
=IF(E5="","",SUM(B4:B5)/SUM(D4:D5))

I am using this for a chart and I don't want to blank the cell becauase it
causes the chart to look horrible. I just want the data to stop on the chart.

In other words my chart goes from say 74 down to zero and I just want the
data point to stop at 74.
 
Do you mean that you want to stop plotting any points from there, or that
you want the datapoint to pick up the previous value?

Change your formula to this:

=IF(E5="",na(),SUM(B4:B5)/SUM(D4:D5))

This will give you #N/A errors where column E is blank, and these
errors will not affect your graph. If you don't want to see #N/A in
the cells, you can apply conditional formatting to the cells to print
white on a white background (thus making them appear blank).

Hope this helps.

I think you need a dynamic range for the data.

Let me check, where are the formulae that you posted?
