Here is something I found:
If you don’t want #N/A to show up in your table (for presentation reasons) I recommend using conditional formatting.

- Click conditional formatting
- Then choose new rule
- Click “format only cells that contain”
- Click dropdown that has “cell value” and change to errors.
-Then click the format button and change the font color to match the background.

This gives the appearance that there is no value in the cell and your graph won’t pick up a zero.

Thanks again, and I hope that this work around might help you too!

If you have many gaps in many series, you would want something that worked more autonomously.

It’s probably easier, if you have to add a lot of extra points, to simply select the line segment in question and format it to use no line.

Use the method described above with the NA() formula to produce NA() for cells where you want a gap in your plot.

Then pad the data set so it is very dense at least in the non-gap areas.

Then create the plot with the style as “points” (without the connecting line).

If the points are all close enough together and the markers appropriately sized, they will produce the illusion of a continuous line in the non-gap area.

THANK YOU!
