    I cannot test and debug in my older version of Excel. Read through this https://peltiertech.com/plot-blank-c...-excel-charts/ and make sure you have the "show #N/A as an empty cell" option checked and then make sure that you have returned N/A and 0 in the appropriate places in the source data. It looks like it should work just fine if you get the right option selected and the right values returned to the spreadsheet.

    Using the instructions in the link MrShorty provided, both sets of data produced new graphs like the one in the .jpg
    Note that the NA()'s are removed from the year cells in the top set of data.
    I noticed the "Hidden and Empty Cells" options for Gaps and Connect data points were grayed out when I accessed Select Data Source dialog box from the existing graphs.
    It may be that there is still a difference in the way the versions produce charts as I only have the 2019 version with which to test.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
