I am uploading values from an existing data base. Sometimes there is no items
sold during the time so it just gives me a blank area. I need to change that
to a zero so it will calculate correctly. I have tried @if statements but am
getting no results sinve the area is blank to begin with. All i need is a
statement that says if the area is blank result =0, or the number that is
there.

Thanks for any help.
