Default Custom Format IF letter z, nothing

hi, have made use of making a number disappear if Custom Format is:
[=9]"";0

Trying to get the letter "z" to disappear, using numbers & letters in column
as output.


If I try to use: [=z]"";0
[=0]"";0 is left behind, with z still showing

Note: do not have any spare conditional formats, trying to do a simple sort
on a column, where "." does not seem to sort null results to end of list
during a "Sort".
Thanks

do you have a conditional format which hides the cell?
if so try making the condition be an "or()"

in not you wil probably have to use a macro to hide it

custom formating will not hide a letter only numbers

sort your data
select the cells with z
<format<cells<number< custom
type ;;;

before you do any changes select the column with the data and
<format<cells<number< general so that you can see the Zs
