Date scale x-axis with gap

If in a chart with x-axis set to date scale a series value does not have a corresponding date, then LibreOffice assumes, that the date is 0. That results in ugly charts. It would be better, if the data point is skipped, same as Excel does it.

The attachment has a screenshot, how the chart looks in Excel.

It is not an import problem. You get the same ugly chart, if you generate the chart from scratch.

Reproducible.
Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 83288332f7ced698610739419989c464256f1c4d
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.19; UI render: default; 
Locale: es-ES (es_ES); Calc: CL

But please take a look saving the file as xlsx with LibreOffice and reload.
Date's column lose the width but the chart looks nice.
That's no happen saving as ods.

tdf#42915, NaN in a date axis can destroy the whole chart
