Hello, I'm creating a workbook that has all of the current sales guys' total sales & profit for 2007 vs 2006. Each guy has their own chart with the dollar totals, and I'm trying to make a chart that has each guys' growth over last year.

I have the formula as a simple "=P34-B34" where as P34 is 2007 profit %, and B34 is 2006 profit%., to find the difference between the 2 years. Since August - December 2007 hasn't happened yet, it is taking 0 (blank cell) and subtracting 31, to get a -31% change over last year, only because the cell is blank. How can I chart them without the values being negative?

Is there any way to make this work?
