Default Linking 2 worksheets-Empty cell problem

Hi Shane,

Thanks for the feedback.

When i use the option 1., like you said it removes all the zeros from the
sheet.So, this is not what I want.

With option 2., it converts all my other dates in numbers. So, this doesn't
work too.
As I have empty cells scattered all around my huge sheet, i cannot
individually select the empty cells.

Is there any other way to do this. I will appreciate your help .Thanks!

Hi,

Alternatively you could:
1. Choose Tools, Options, View tab, and uncheck Zero values (the downside
is that all zeros on that sheet will not display)
2. You can format the cell to not display zeros -
- highlight the range you want to format
- choose Format, Cells, Number tab, Custom, and enter a code on the Type
line like
#,##0.00;-#,##0.00;

The second semi-colon with nothing following it tells Excel you don't want
to display zero values. This approach is range specific, it does not apply
to the entire sheet.

Hi,

I have linked sheet A to sheet B. Sheet A has some empty cells which are
read and populted as 01/00/00 in sheet B. How can I get read of them and have
just empty cells?

Thanks for your help.
