Default Avoiding "0" importing blank cells from another Excel file

When importing data from another Excel spreadsheet, you get a 0 where there
was a blank cell. Can this be avoided?
I tried to use If (B5=0," ",B5) which returns what looks like a blank cell,
but really isn't. This drives statistics insane - sees it as 0 since it
isn't a blank cell in reality.
How can I avoid these problems without going through and physically deleting
each 0? (find 0, replace with won't work since deletes any 0). I have
thousands of data points.
