Default Plot missing data

Hi, using Excel 2007 how do I plot a line through points with no data? At the
moment there are gaps.

Many thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Jon, thanks for you prompt response. I have found this dialog. However
the 'Show empty cells as' only has the zero option available.

What's the trick to be able to select 'connect data points with line'?

Many thanks
Jonathan

Same issue here...trying to plot DATE on X axis with BAR as Y1 and
SCATTER as Y2. There are 2 problems:

1. As with Jonathan, 'Connect data points with line' is not available
(only Gaps and Zero)
2. The data in SCATTER column does not line up correctly with the X
axis (DATE)...it is skewed in from the left (2004-01-30 data around
2004-07-30) and the right (2008-06-30 data around 2008-02-30).

Here is a view of the chart with all of the data:

Here is a small sample the data:
DATE(SOME DUP) BAR SCATTER
2004-01-30 19.23
2004-02-27 23.77
2004-03-31 30.78
2004-04-01 138441
2004-04-02 141657
2004-04-29 243856
2004-04-30 238183
2004-04-30 34.99
2004-05-03 256254
2004-05-04 210126


Cheers,
Dana
