Default Ignore N/A values with an area chart

I know that excel will ignore a value of #N/A on a line chart, but with an
area chart, the result plots a value of zero, making the area look like a
bunch of spikes. Is there a way to ignore that value and essentially connect
the two available points to give the chart a continuous area?

What you can do is interpolate between the adjacent values. There is no
value that will make an area chart not dive to zero.
