Default Telling the difference between zero and blank in IF statement

I have an IF statement that needs to chooses the range of cells from which to
perform a calculation based on whether or not a certain cell has a value.
There are times when the value in this cell needs to be Zero. The problem
is, Excel treats 0, "0" as a blank (as in =0, ="0"). It worked when I
turned the cell containing the key value to text, but then another formula
reading this cell doesn't work. Help!
