linking sheets in the workbook and getting rid of the ZERO
Ok. I am thinking this is a format problem, but when I go to link sheets in
the workbook and copy one sheet to the other, I am getting a zero in the columns. For example when I enter a number 3 on sheet 1 and want it to go to sheet 2, no problem, but when I enter a number 5 cells below in the same column on sheet 1, sheet 2 has zeros going from the previous number 3 down to the rencently entered number. How do I eliminate this on sheet 2? |

Two possible solutions. One is to change your formula to return a blank if
the precedent cell is blank. The other option is to format the book to not show zeros. 1. Right now your formula looks like =Sheet1!A1 Change it to =If(Sheet1!A1 = "", ", Sheet1!A1) 2. Select Tools - Options - View and uncheck Show Zeros -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "mschulze" wrote: Ok.

=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1) in a cell on Sheet2
keeps the cell blank until a value is entered in A1 of Sheet1 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 30 Jan 2008 08:26:05 -0800, mschulze wrote: Ok.
