Yes the NA()does work.
But is therea way for the series line to be broken.
for example:
I am trending a series over a priod of time say day 1 to
4. on the 3 day there is no data.
 I would like the series to have no data there and the x-
axis still to have the date day 3.
Is this possible. Using NA() conects the series line from
day 2 to day 4?

Hopeful?
