    Connect the dots on a line chart

    I have a line chart with multiple series. In the data, each series has blank cells so I end up with non-continuous lines. Because I have multiple series (each row a different series), I can't hide columns as the blanks are not all in the same column. Anyway to get Excel to connect the dots within a series even if there are blanks between them? Thanks
