Thank you all - the macro was especially helpful!

If linking formulas are like =Sheet1!A1 change them to

=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1)

Copy down and across.

Or use a macro to change all existing formulas.

Sub ZeroTrapAdd()
Dim mystr As String
Dim cel As Range
For Each cel In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
If cel.HasFormula = True Then
If Not cel.Formula Like "=IF(*" Then
mystr = Right(cel.Formula, Len(cel.Formula) - 1)
cel.Value = "=IF(" & mystr & "="""",""""," & mystr & ")"
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

I update a workbook weekly in separate worksheets. My master worksheet links
to the appropriate cells for the updated data. These are simple percentage
numbers (not forumlas, etc.) and only need to be a one-on-one link. The
problem I have is that if one of the cells is blank, it returns a 0 and I
need to to stay blank. Any ideas? There are about 57,000 cells I am working
with so I really don't want to have to update manually all blanks.
