Not to show axis label if value is zero EXCEL - excel

Is there any way to not to show an axis label if value is zero against that?
Suppose if a table is like below

If i want to not to get the graph of Ferrari in axis, what should I do?
I know that, I can hide that column if the graph is not to be shown for that. I can not use that since its a highly dynamic data and I dont want to go and hide it everytime.
Could somebody help?
Many thanks an advance

So, quick and dirty:
But I would then produce the table of numbers so that any row not to be included gets removed and then build the chart with 5 only and not have the gap. I will let you work on that.
So, did that as well, but I will let you figure out how to control the Legend:
The trick is to use large(), but you may need to be wrapping with if() to control 0 better...

Is there a way to find the closest row match based on a different row match?

I'm working with a data in which there are multiple sets of information in the same column. This is making it difficult to pick out the data I need as it always returns the first result. I am trying to find a way to ensure that the column result returned in a search is based on a different column's value. For example:
Name/Date
01/01/2022
02/01/2022
03/01/2022
04/01/2022
05/01/2022

If I wanted to yield the number for Jane on 07/01/2022 (which is 21), is there any way of returning this? I've been able to use =MATCH to pull the correct column based on the date search criteria, but I cannot see a viable way of pulling for a particular person when their name appears multiple times in the same column. Attempting a lookup will return the first result for the name hit (so in the case of my Jane example, it would return row 3 instead of 9). I'm looking to be able to enter a name and a date, and it returns the result from that part of the array.
Is such a thing possible, please? If not, is there any workaround that may help to provide me the same result?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
This is being attempting in Office 365.
Assuming:
ms365 (specifically access to the BETA-channel);
Equal intervals with the same names at the same postions;
Formula in I4:
=LET(X,WRAPCOLS(TOCOL(B1:F12,,1),6),SUM((A1:A6=I3)*FILTER(X,TAKE(X,1)=I2)))
Assuming your data starts in row 1
A1:F12 - data range
B17 - Jane
B18 - 07/01/2022
=LET(data,A1:F12,names,A1:A12,lookupname,B17,lookupdate,B18,INDEX(data,MIN(LET(rowlist,IF(names=lookupname,ROW(names),0),IF(rowlist>MAX(IF(data=lookupdate,ROW(data),0)),rowlist,""))),MAX(IF(data=lookupdate,COLUMN(data),0))))

Excel rotate radar chart

I have been trying to create a windrose that displays the occurence of multiple wind speeds and their respective wind direction. Using other very helpful posts on here I've gotten pretty close to what I want. There is just one thing I can't seem to fix.
As you can see in the figure below the graph starts at 0 degrees while I want the "North" wind direction to start at -11,25 (or +348,75) degrees.
Currently the radial axis labels are added using a pie chart while the rest of the data is plotted in a filled radar chart. It is easy to rotate the pie chart but I can't seem to find a similar function for rotating the radar chart. Any help would be much appreciated. The excel file is attached beneath the figure.

I haven't fully digested the netiquette of this website and not sure if it is a good idea to try giving you an answer 6+ months after you posted. Also hope that by this time you found an answer.
If not, this link should be of help:
https://superuser.com/questions/687036/how-to-make-a-pie-radar-chart
In the example the creator made one field for each degree and started the first series, which would be equivalent to your north at 0°. However nothing prevents you from starting at 348.
I have not tested but I also think that nothing prevents you from adding even more "resolution", e.g. half-degree steps.. or even more to your discretion.
EDIT: following L.Guthardt's feedback.
In order to provide you an answer I opted to simplify your table and chart. Mostly for convenience, but also because I struggle to get a full understanding of the original "architecture". Still, the solution should work at any level and is based on two key elements:
first you will have to double the number of rows from 16 to 32 (thus each quadrant being repeated two times, e.g. ... nne - nne - ne - ne...)
second, you have to start and finish with N as showcased here
Direction Cat6
N 6
NNE 4 4

NE 4 4

Rotating radar charts in Excel can be achieved by building a separate table for plotting the chart. It would have three columns:
Column A: New categories
Column B: Original categories (calculated from A)
Column C: Original data using VLOOKUP() on B
The chart will be plotted using columns B and C. Column B category numbers are offset by the desired number of categories.
If the chart needs to be rotated by other than multiples of a category degree (e.g., 30 degrees for 12 categories), you would need to add rows in between (corresponding to the amount of rotation in relation to the category degree). For example, to rotate a 12-category radar chart by multiples of 15 degrees, one extra row is needed in-between each original category row (to create 24 new categories). In this case, you would need to calculate the intermediate values by linearly interpolating between actual data points.
The trick is that blank category values are not displayed on the chart and the values for these categories blend in smoothly with the real data (because they are interpolated).
I will post an example if the above is not clear enough.
P.S. I cannot look at your new Excel file (in Answers) because it exceeds 5 MB (see screenshot 1).
So I did keep working on this problem and the best solution I've come up with (while using Microsoft Excel) looks as follows:
Currently, the number of sectors in the plot is fixed at 16. If I want to make this number variable, the table required for the plot data requires a very large amount of lookup functions which make the spreadsheet too slow to work with.
I've uploaded the new Excel file here to take a look at:

Compare multiple data from rows

I'm looking for a way to compare multiple rows with data to each other, trying to find the best possible match. Each number in every column must be an approximately match the other numbers in the same column.
Example:
Customer #1: 1 5 10 9 7 7 8 2 3
Customer #2: 10 5 9 3 5 7 4 3 2
Customer #3: 1 4 10 9 8 7 6 2 2
Customer #4: 9 5 6 7 2 1 10 5 6
In this example customer #1 and #3 is quite similar, and I need to find a way to highlight or sort the rows so I can easily find the best match.
I've tried using conditional formatting to highlight the numbers that are the similar, but that is quite confusing, because the amount of data is quite big.
Any ideas of how I could solve this?
Thanks!
The following formula entered in (say) L1 and pulled down gives the best match with the current row based on the sum of the absolute differences between corresponding cells:-
=MIN(IF(ROW($C$1:$K$4)<>ROW(),(MMULT(ABS($C1:$K1-$C$1:$K$4),TRANSPOSE(COLUMN($C$1:$K$4))^0))))
It is an array formula and must be entered with CtrlShiftEnter.
You can then sort on column L to bring the customers with lowest similarity scores to the top or use conditional formatting to highlight rows with a certain similarity value.
EDIT
If you wanted to penalise large differences in individual columns more heavily than small differences to try and avoid pairs of customers which are fairly similar except for having some columns very different, you could try something like the square of the differences:-
=MIN(IF(ROW($C$1:$K$4)<>ROW(),(MMULT(($C1:$K1-$C$1:$K$4)^2,TRANSPOSE(COLUMN($C$1:$K$4))^0))))
then the scores for your test data would come out as 7,127,7,127.
I'm assuming you want to compare customers 2-4 with customer 1 and that you are comparing only within each column. In this case, you could implement a 'scoring system' using multiple IFs. For example,:
A B C D E
1 Customer 1 1 1 2
2 Customer 2 1 2 2
3 Customer 3 0 1 0
you could use in E2
=if(B2=$B$1,1,0)+if(C2=$C$1,1,0)+if(D2=$D$1,1,0)
This will return a 'score' of 1 when you have a match and a 'score' of 0 when you don't. It then adds up the scores and your highest value will be your best match. Copying down would then give
A B C D E
1 Customer 1 1 1 2
2 Customer 2 1 2 2 2
3 Customer 3 0 1 0 1
so customer 2 is the best match.

EXCEL Bar Graph - representing only part of the bar graph

Hi I'm trying to create a bar graph on Excel where I can highlight part of the bar graph. For instance, for the following table,
1 100 20 30
2 100 10 20
3 100 5 15
I would like to have the value 100 represented and then on top of that have only between 20 and 30 highlighted (or shaded/colored/etc in differnt color) - showing that the total is 100 and the range is 20 to 30.
For 2, same thing, have 100 represented first, and only have 10 to 20 highlighted, and so on.
Would any of you guys please help me on how to go about it? I tried stacked bar with no fill and such but it does not fulfill my satisfaction. Thank you for your reply in advance!!! :)
Do you want something like this?
If so, convert your data to this format:
1 20 10 70
2 10 10 80
3 5 10 85
Use a stacked column chart and set the first and the third series to the same color.

will ABS formula columns sort and match

I am retired so I have a lot of free time on my hands so I like playing the greyhounds. Using Excel I attempted to help myself save time by sorting out two columns at a time (Post - B-SPD) etc, because you have to sort some low and some high. The columns not marked Post are formula columns =abs(a3) etc. but when I try to sort the Post columns will sort, but the column I try to sort with it does not sort and match the post number it is assigned to.
Can this be done or does the =ABS formula prevent it. Plus even using =ABS some of the number are negative but the -minus sign does not appear. I have tried everything using numbers, using currency, using general, but nothing works. One person sent me to control panel to the Clock, Language, and Region settings. go additional setting and set your negative setting there. But that would not let the -minus sign show up on negative numbers either.
Is any of the above even possible?
POST B-SPD POST A-SPD POST 8TH POST L-SPD POST A-FIN
1 31.43 1 31.84 1 0 1 3 1 5.83
2 31.43 2 31.67 2 35.14 2 0 2 4.67
3 31.79 3 31.9 3 59.11 3 6 3 5.67
4 31.32 4 31.73 4 65.5 4 3 4 3.83
5 31.47 5 31.68 5 29.71 5 4 5 3.33
6 31.76 6 32.18 6 100 6 9 6 5.01
7 31.48 7 31.99 7 41.13 7 1 7 5.67
8 31.69 8 31.99 8 75.79 8 6 8 4.83
LOW LOW HIGH HIGH LOW
The requirement is not clear but use of ABS should not cause sorting issues. =ABS (for absolute) function is to strip out minus signs (so seems to be working properly).
OP may be advised to delete all but one of the POST columns, select headers and data (not including 'LOW' or 'HIGH') and Insert > Tables - Table, check My table has headers, OK, then use the filter buttons to choose whether to Sort Smallest to Largest or Sort Largest to Smallest for whichever attribute is to be ordered (the other columns will 'follow suit'). The filter button will show which button is determining the ordering and whether ascending or descending (eg table below is sorted descending on '8TH'):
