Link to cell shows 0 value
 

I have a workbook that is used for vacation time. I have a sheet for
each month and on each of these sheets in column A is linked to the
main sheet where employee names are entered.

If a name is entered then it gets carried to all the other sheets, if
there is no name entered, the following sheets show a zero for the data
entered. Is there a way so that I can not have the zero showing on the
sheets and still have the link?

Thank You

Figured it out

Tools Options take checkmark out of 'Zero Values'

So simple, yet annoying

One option is use conditional formating, in the format menu, and create a
condition to use white ink if the value of the cell is 0

Hope this helps,
Miguel.
