Default i want default as Zero in date format cell

If the cell is truly blank, it will display as blank.
If it has a value of 0, it will display as you suggest. In this case it may
be possible to create a custom format to display as 0, but you can easily
make it appear as blank. Go to ToolsOptionsView tab and deselect the Zero
values checkbox.
