Default How do I bridge the gaps in data in (XL 2007) Area Chart

Bernard,
That worked for bridging the gaps in the line plot, but not the area chart.
The area chart has the "connect" grayed out. Also, if I enter =na(), it
treats them as 0's and doesn't interpolate.
Any suggestions?

Click the chart to activate it
In the Design tab of Chart Tools, click Select Data
A dialog box opens, look at lower left corner for "Hidden and Empty Cells"
button and click it
You get three options: gaps, zero and connect.

Alternative (works in all version of Excel); in the empty cell type =NA().
It will display as #N/A and will be ignored by the chart engine

best wishes

XL 2007 doesn't have the TOOLS-Options-Interpolate menu and choices.
This goes for a line chart as well.
Thx
