Not really!

=A2

Returns a zero, and that's what everyone is trying to avoid ... the zero
display.<g

I can't think of anything shorter (16 characters) then this:

=IF(A2="","",A2)
--

If you work with the "IS" functions a bit more they become much simpler
to use. For example, your formula could be shortened to:

= if ( ISBLANK( A2), "", A2)

you don't need the "= true" portion; it's superfluous. This makes the
formula pretty much English-readable, too.
