Default Line chart zero values

Hi,

I have several different charts running, both dynamic and static, and both types
have the same problem.

Amongst the data being plotted are cells with computed values using formulas
similar to =IF($B70,AVERAGE($B1:$B7),""). The line graphs are drawn ok
where there is real data present but at the first point where the "" is to be
graphed the line drops to 0. Subsequent points are not plotted but presumably
would be if 0 was included in the graphing range. I assume that this happens
because Excel treats text as being zero.

I have tried replacing the "" with NA() but this puts #NA in the workbook cells
and doesn't change the way the graph is presented. If NA() had worked I would
have left the cells on screen with "" as information cells and set up helper
cells off screen with NA() replacing "" purely to be used for the chart.

This is not a big problem and I can live with it as it is now but It would be
better if the graph stopped at the last entry with real data.

Is there a way to achieve this?
