Default Making Zeros look like no entry

Another option that I don't think has been mentioned yet:
Use Conditional Formatting on the column to set the font color to the same
color as the cell (usually white) if the value in the cell is zero. This has
the end effect of leaving zero in the cell if you need it for any
calculations such as averaging, but not cluttering up the column with
displayed zeros; and it's a little more precise in affecting only that column
not all worksheets in hiding zeros.

I have a spreadsheet that makes some calculation in a column, based on
multiplying numbers entered in 2 other columns. However, for some of the
rows, there is no "input" data, and so the calculation simply indicates the
answer is zero. This gives me a column with lots of zero's in the cells. I'd
prefer there simply to be a blank cell, whenever the result of the formula is
zero. Is there a way to achieve that?

Thanks much.
