Default Getting rid of '0' in a cell

You're welcome.

The drawback with the first method is that you need to amend all your
formulae, whereas the second method just acts on the result of those
formulae.

Great! I'll use the former method, seems more 'transparent' to me. Thank you!

If you are linking directly to another cell, eg A1 in Sheet1, you
could do this:


=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1)


Another method is to use Conditional Formatting on the destination
cell(s), such that a white foreground colour is used if the cell
evaluates to 0, thus making the cell appear blank (on a white
background).


Hope this helps.

this strange behaviour? Note: the cell format is General, switching to Text
