Use an event macro.

If cell A1 changes and is zero then set the result cell to "ERROR"
if cell A1 changes and is not zero then set the result cell to ""

I often use if statements to return empty cells, for example:

=IF(a1=0,"ERROR","")

The trailing "" returns an empty cell. The problem is, it is not TRULY
empty. If I fill that formula down, I cannot, for example, jump from
one "ERROR" cell to the next by hitting Ctrl arrow-down because it
seems to think that these empty cells have contents.

Is there a way to designate, in such a formula as above, to return a
TRULY empty cell?

Thanks
