Try something like:

Function NullCell(rng As Range) As Variant
If rng.Value = "" Then
NullCell = ""
Exit Function
End If
NullCell = rng.Value
End Function

Not quite as simple as that. I wish it were.
If A1 is either blank or empty, I want the cell where the NullCell
function
is to appear empty.
If A1 is blank due to formula (i.e.: =""), then the NullCell function
works,
but if there is NO data in there, I get an answer of 0.

The value is returned as the function name

Function NullCell()

'some code
NullCell = somevalue
End Function

If you want to pass a value into the function you just declare an
argument

Function NullCell(ByRef rng As Range)

'do something to rng
NullCell = somevalue
End Function

What are some good references on creating UDF's?

While my real need is far more complex than I list here, I will give
a
basic
basic situation.
A2: =IF(A1="","",A1)

I would prefer something more like
A2: =NullCell(A1)

Thank you.
