Hi David and Thanks for your reply :)
Yes, the formula is pointing to the right sheet. When the first formula (the
one that's putting in the zeros that I don't want) if I enter a number into
sheet 1 it sshows up on sheet 2. But if I change the formula to remove the
zeros, then if I enter a number on sheet 1, sheet 2 stays blank.

Yes, both sheets are open,

Yes its automatic, not manual :)
I have Excel 2003 btw... did I say that before? :)

Firstly check that your formula on the one sheet is referring to the correct
cell on the correct sheet in the other book.
Are the two books both open while you are doing these changes?

Secondly make sure that under Tools/ Options/ Calculation you've got it set
to Automatic, nor Manual.

I must be doing something wrong... I entered this formula and it did make
the
cell blank instead of showing 0.00%, but when I went to the 1st sheet and
entered a number, on the 2nd sheet it still remained blank.
<sigh

Hi,
I'm doing a formula that takes info from a worksheet in one workbook
and
copies it to another worksheet in another workbook.
My formula looks like this: =('[9-07 Chart Audit Compliance
CC.xls]CVT'!$C$19) and it works fine except for one thing. If the cell
I'm
taking the info from is empty, it puts 0.00% in the worksheet I'm
copying
to.
Each cell is added and an average is taken and the 0.00% changes the
average!
What can I add to the formula to make the cell blank if the cell I'm
copying
is blank?
Boy I hope this makes sense :)

The workbook goes for a month at a time but we want to see the averages
each
week and the 0%'s make that number incorrect until you get to the end
of
the
month and all the cells are filled.

ALSO is there a way to make the formulas fill in correctly instead of
having
to enter each one one at a time? (I click in the cell, type =( then go
to
the
cell I'm copying and click it, hit enter, and the formula for THAT cell
goes
in.
If I drag it, it doesn't change like it does in a regular workbook
where
the
info is in the same worksheet... (I know, that's two questions for the
price
of one :D )

thanks, Meenie
