Default Can I avoid plotting 'non-empty' cells


Hi
I am plotting data such as the following on a simple line chart...

Jan Feb Mar Apr May June
10 11 12 0 0 0

The future month (Apr, May , June) each contain a formula which returns
either zero or "" as no data is available.

The problem is that I don't want the future months to be plotted as
zero, which is what happens. There is an option in Excel to avoid
plotting 'empty' cells - but these cells are not empty as they contain
a formula.

Of course, I could simply choose Jan:Mar as the chart range and update
it each month, but I know I'll forget to do it. Alternatively, I could
delete the formula and paste them in each month, but that's still
relying on me to remember.

Thanks
