Default scatter chart with gaps in series (XL 2007)

Hi, I am plotting large blocks of data on a scatter plot. I want to change my
data and update though charts automatically so I use a series of if
statements to generate the data I will plot. My data should have numerous
blanks so I can make my if statement give me a blank string, or zero value ,
or some other value, or NA() when my test fails and otherwise give me the
result I want to plot. Fine. Null strings are plotted as 0, NA()s are not
plotted. But the parts of the plot ranges containing data (where the data
passed my test) are connected by straight lines (representing the parts of my
plot ranges where the test failed and the output is NA()) when I wanted to
leave these segments as gaps in the data line. Is there any way of telling
Excel not to join the points together ie plot only my values and not plot the
joining lines where there are NA()'s (that is, mimic having true blank
cells)? I have resorted to writing a simple bit of code to give me the data I
need but this is not the elegant solution I was hoping for...
Many thanks and best wishes, Boris.
