Default Excel inserted 0's in cells linked to blank cells

Hi Trudy

2 Options:

Option 1: Tools Options View Tab Window Options, click in the
zero values box to remove the tick, this will suppress all zeros'
problem with this method is if there is a zero that should be there it
will be suppressed

Option 2: The formula on your sheet you copied to will look something
like this =Sheet1!A1, you could cahnge the formulas to this
=IF(Sheet1!A2="","",Sheet1!A2), you then do not need to do Option 1

and any real value zeros will still appear, you can then copy the
formula for other cells you want copied across


I appreciate having two options. Surely one will work!

I have a question about Option 1. There are no fields on this worksheet
where a single zero would be input. Is it the occurrance of a single
zero that the option addesses, and not cells containing phone numbers
and addresses that might include zeros?

Thanks,
Trudy :)
