Default I want the cell to be blank instead of zero

My formula is very simple =G$1 always in all cell exception is when the cell
G$1 is blank I don't want a zero I want the cells to remain blank. I plan on
putting H for holiday or R for Rain day in a gantt chart. So that on those
days we know that we didn't work. I know that I could use "" double
quotation marks with an IF statement but can't seem to put it together to
make it work.

Alternatively, conditionally format the cells to display whiite text an a
white background (i.e. blank) if the value is zero.
