Default Skipping Text Entries

One of my charts contains "N/A" entries. Right now they are showing as zeros
on the chart. I went to OPTIONS/CHART and the chose the LEAVE GAPS choice but
they are still showing as zeros. Is there any way to skip that week if the
entry is non-numeric? Thanks.

have your text entries return the #NA error, such as:
=IF(A2=0,NA(),A2)

The #NA error is ignored by charts.

Replace your "N/A" text entries by the #N/A error code.
If you are doing it by formula you can use =NA() or =#N/A, but not ="N/A"
