There is unfortunately no function that returns a blank. We would like to
have something like BLANK() or NULL(), but it's not available.
=IF(LEN(A1)=0,NA(),A1)
LEN(A1) checks for a blank. If there is a blank, NA() turns into #N/A in the
chart, which isn't exactly a blank: no point is drawn in a line or XY chart
for this cell, and any line connecting data points connects the points on
either side.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a blank cell in excel 2003. When I move data from a
blank cell, excel turns the data from a blank cell into a zero and I'd
like
it left as a blank cell so that a graph of the data shows a gap.
Thanks ahead of time.
