Default clear all zero-length strings from spreadsheet?

Sorry, I mis read the origional question

If you use =IF(A34=10,"10+") you then get 'false' rather than a blank cell
and then these will be sorted to the bottom of the list if that is any help?

Can't see how that would work?

An example would be if I use a formula like

IF(A110,"Over","")


The "" doesn't leave the cell empty, it leaves a zero-length string that
appears before text if the column is sorted. How do I either write formulas
that return a true null, or get rid of the zero-length strings?

Edit Clear All works on a cell range where the but I want to be able to
cover the whole spreadsheet in one go.

Hi, I want a quick way of clearing all zero-length strings from a spreadsheet

I tried using Find & Replace

Find: ""
Replace: (left blank)

But it put zeroes in instead of actuall deleting all contents.
