Blank cells represented in area charts

I have an area chart with a 3D visual effect. The blank cells are being
shown as 0. I have tried putting #N/A in the blank cells and I have
tried to plot empty cells as interpolated. Both of these are not
working. How can I get the blank cells to stop showing up as 0 in the
area chart?

Thanks,
Cindy

Cindy -

Sorry, area charts don't follow the same rules as line and scatter
charts, when it comes to interpolating over a blank space. Tools >
Options > Chart dooesn't have any effect, nor does the NA() trick. What
I've done in the past is enter an interpolated value into the blank
cell. I color the text red if I want a reminder that it's a made up
value, or white to simulate the blank.
