removing inaccurate data

My Davis Vantage Pro2 had another temp/humidity sensor failure and is reporting -67C to the display units, Cumulus, website page and of course logging these temperatures as RECORDS! I'll say they are records. I can't repair for another couple weeks. I've put a note on my Cumulus web page to indicate this failure but I would like to somehow eliminate the values from the records and show N/A (not available) for next couple weeks for temp and humidity. Is there a way to do these two things? (I think I can edit the record pages, but how can I show N/A or otherwise not allow those incorrect temperatures from reaching my web page.

Can I do it with the Vantage Pro2? Or Cumulus?

I think this would be of general interest to many people who suffer the same fate.

Sorry, there's nothing you can do about this in Cumulus, and I do appreciate that it's a pain. I've had the same problem myself several times, and while I've cleaned up some of the data, I still have some invalid figures showing in places. It's possible that a future version of Cumulus MX will allow broken sensors to be ignored.

You could edit the web page templates to show N/A for the invalid values instead of showing the values from Cumulus.
