Hiding a Singular Column of a series in a stacked column chart

I currently have a VBA script which generates a combined chart from some data. My manager has requested that the "grand total" column (a sum of all the other columns) be present in the data table below. However, he does not want it present in the graph itself. I know that were I doing this manually, I would be able to double-click the circled column and set its Fill to "No Fill," but I cannot figure how how to do this in VBA. Note I am not trying to hide the entire series, just the circled column in the picture below.

What I have:

Picture of Incorrect Chart

What I'm trying to accomplish:

Picture of Corrected Chart

Thanks for your time!

EDIT: Plotting Code:

'Plotting!
Dim dblMax As Double
dblMax = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(dpws.Range("B2:P4"))
Dim chrt As Chart
Set chrt = pws.Shapes.AddChart.Chart
With chrt
    .ChartArea.Left = 200
    .ChartArea.Top = 0
    .ChartArea.Height = 500
    .ChartArea.Width = 800
    .Legend.Position = xlLegendPositionBottom
    .ChartType = xlColumnStacked
    .HasDataTable = True
    .SetSourceData Source:=dpws.UsedRange
    .SeriesCollection("Forecasted % Complete").AxisGroup = 2
    .SeriesCollection("Forecasted % Complete").ChartType = xlLineMarkers
    .SeriesCollection("Forecasted % Complete").MarkerStyle = xlMarkerStyleSquare
    .SeriesCollection("Cumulative").ChartType = xlLine
    .SeriesCollection("Cumulative").Format.Line.Visible = False
    .Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale = 0
    .Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = dblMax + dblMax * 0.2
    .Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).MinimumScale = 0
    .Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).MaximumScale = 1
End With

And below you will find the full code.

Just added 2 lines of code to your original 'Plotting Section

Dim dblMax As Double
dblMax = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(dpws.Range("B2:P4"))
Dim chrt As Chart
Set chrt = pws.Shapes.AddChart.Chart

With chrt
    .ChartArea.Left = 200
    .ChartArea.Top = 0
    .ChartArea.Height = 500
    .ChartArea.Width = 800
    .Legend.Position = xlLegendPositionBottom
    .ChartType = xlColumnStacked
    .HasDataTable = True
    .SetSourceData Source:=dpws.UsedRange
    .SeriesCollection("Forecasted % Complete").AxisGroup = 2
    .SeriesCollection("Forecasted % Complete").ChartType = xlLineMarkers
    .SeriesCollection("Forecasted % Complete").MarkerStyle = xlMarkerStyleSquare
    .SeriesCollection("Cumulative").ChartType = xlLine
    ' Added the 2 lines below
    .SeriesCollection("Cumulative").Format.Fill.Visible = msoFalse
    .SeriesCollection("Cumulative").Format.Line.Visible = msoFalse
    .Axes(xlValue).MinimumScale = 0
    .Axes(xlValue).MaximumScale = dblMax + dblMax * 0.2
    .Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).MinimumScale = 0
    .Axes(xlValue, xlSecondary).MaximumScale = 1
