Hiding zero values
 

I have a chart with data in Columns C and E. I want the columns to zero out when subtracted (ex:=E2-C2). My issue is I only want zeros in the answer column G to display in the rows with data, not in the rest of the column where I put the formula. Is that possible? Any ideas would be helpful. I can't hide zero values becuase then nothing in the column would display at all. I tried an If Statement but I get a circular reasoning error. HELP!

Hiding zero values
 

Hi,

Are you suggesting that if 0 appears because there are values in E2 and C2
which are equal you want them to display. If on the other hand E2 and C2
were blank (or both 0?) you want the 0 not to display?

IF blanks then:
=IF(AND(C2="",E2=""),"",E2-C2)
IF zero values in both cells then:
=IF(AND(C2=0,E2=0,LEN(C2)0,LEN(E2)0),"",C2-E2)
or you can combine the two.

Of course, like Benard said, a little more info would help.
