Default skipping zeros

1) =A1*B1*C1 and copy down the column

That will result in all zeros because if any column has a zero then the
result will be zero.

Better to use something like:

=IF(COUNTIF(A2:C2,0)=3,"",1)

The highlight all the data in Column D and select Edit Goto Special
Formulas tick just Text then OK

Next Edit Delete Entire Row OK

Then clear the formulas in Column D

The simplies way is to use an auxilary column. In column D put the
formula

1) =A1*B1*C1 and copy down the column
2) Add filter to Column D. click on the D at top of column to highlight
entire column. Then Menu Data - Filter - AutoFilter
3) In D1 select in the Filter 0
4) Highlight Rows with data then right click and select delete Row.
5) Remove Filter from Column D by Highlighting column D and going to
Data -
Filter - Show All.
