How to eliminate zero values on graphs when formula calculates 0?

I'm setting up a graph of data that is calculated with an "if" function over
a series of days of input data including future days. When the input data
cell is blank I would like the calculated value to not show a zero value on
the graph. If the cell were blank, the plot would not show a zero value.
The problem is that at the end of the line graph the line always falls off to
zero.

=IF(A1="",NA(),your_formula)

Thanks David. That does make the cell blank but unfortunately it still plots
as a zero on the graph.

A value of #N/A (coming from the NA() function) is ignored by the chart
engine

Problem solved. The cell were no empty but contained zeros and the
worksheet was formatted not to show zeros!
