Default converting text to number

You can use the N function:

=N(A2)*B2

Hi all,

I have a spread sheet with a GetPivotData formula, where I also have an
if statement that replace 0 (zeros) to "" empty cells. This replacement
is critical for some formular to work, but it also make the black cells
not usable for any calculation. If I simply multiply one empty cell by
any number, it would show a #Value! error. How do I avoid this?

I tried Text (...,"#"), Value (...), neither work.

Thanks,

V_
