Default cluster & stacked & line in one chart

I have a chart that has one clustered column and two stacked columns. Looks
great. I tried to format another set of data to be a line with markers. All
I see is the markers, no line. Any ideas if this is possible?

Default cluster & stacked & line in one chart

If the cells between the values for the line series are blank, go to Tools
menu Options Chart tab, and choose Interpolate for Treat Blank Cells
As...

If the cells are formulas returning "", change "" to NA(). This puts an ugly
#N/A error in the sheet, but the chart automatically interpolates across
these errors without showing them.

The cells are blank, but the interpolate option is grayed out and cannot be
selected.

Oh yeah, Interpolate is meaningless for a column chart. You have to make the
chart a line chart, select the Interpolate option, then change the relevant
series back to column type.
