I'm not sure about the vocabulary, so please let me know the right words.
I have a chart. I want it to display the entire fiscal year, APR to MAR. In the middle of the year, I want it to use the data so far, but keep the rest of the chart blank. If it's September and I haven't given it the rest of the year, I want the line to stop at August.

I dump a year's worth of data into the sheet and have an if function that says if data is not there, then cell = "". If I make a chart out of the data in the attached sheet, the line goes to zero for October and beyond. I don't want the zeros, I just want the line to stop. If I remove the formulae from C8:D13, I get what I want.
