Scatter Plot

How do I avoid the scatter plot from charting blank observations as zeros?

Thanks!

If the cells are truly blank (no formulas, no stray characters), go to Tools
menu > Options, and on the Chart tab, select the Not Plotted option for
'Plot Empty Cells As...'.

If the cells contain a formula that returns "" for one condition, Excel
treats the "" as a text value, which is converted to a zero for plotting.
Change "" to NA(), which puts an ugly error in the cell; the chart has a
line interpolated across the missing point.
