Default How to ignore blank cells


I have followed this thread and I have a particular problem that I
thought it was intended to solve.
I am plotting with dates on the X axis. The Y values are function
determined. Using the IF function I have tried giving the cell a NA
value but the plot then extrapolates between the points. I do not want
to give it a zero value.
But I actually want the gap.
I suppose I could, using a macro, copy the series and then delete any
cells with NA in them and then use this as the basis for the plot.
Is there a way of avoiding this?

Check Andy Pope's site (http://andypope.info) for a technique to display a
gap for this situation.

John,
Thank you kindly for this. It works fine.
I thouhgt that there might be some function like NA() that made the
cell genuinely blank.
Thanks again.
