Default Excel 2007- prevent graph from plotting zeros

I have a spreadsheet which includes a simple "IF" statement - when true this
returns "" - which the spreadsheet displays as 0.0
I can supress this display by using custom format etc, but the associated
chart still plots it as zero.
What I really want to do is for the associated chart to plot nothing (ie a
gap in the line).
I am happy to change the chart setup or the formula to achieve this result.
