I searched and found this thread. I'm using Excel 2003.

I used Frank's advice of custom cell format to make cell show blank when
total is zero, eg: 0.0;-0.0;

but it only returns me one place of decimal rounded up to nearest 10.
Result: 123 * 11.05 = 1359.2

I changed the custom cell format to 0.00;-0.00;
Result: 123 * 11.05 = 1359.15

What I would like returned is 1,359.15

Can you help me with a custom cell format returning 1,359.15 where it will
make the cell show blank when total is zero?

Here is my formula:
=COUNTIF(OFFSET('Daily MP'!$A:$A,0,MATCH(H$3,'Daily
MP'!$5:$5,0)-1),"*" &
$B8 & "*")
When the total is zero, how do I show the cell as blank instead
of
having a
0 show in the cell?

Try a custom format of:

#,##0.00;-#,##0.00;
