Default Blanks treated as zeroes in a numeric field

I've imported data into Excel and two columns are defined as numeric, 3
decimal places. When using them in a compute, I subtract 1 from the value.
For those that are blank, the result from the compute is -1. I'd prefer the
result be blank as well.

How can I stop Excel from treating blanks as zeroes in a numeric field?
