I'm still relatively new to the formulas - can't do anything too complex yet
so this should be an easy one for all you experts out there.

I have cells that have basic Sum formula. If there is no value in any of
the preceding cells, the total cell shows $0.

I believe I can create a formula that says if the value is 0 then leave
blank. I don't want to see the $0.

Thanks!

This says that if the sum of cells A1 through A10 equals zero, then return
nothing ( "" ), else return the sum of A1 through A10.

=IF(SUM(A1:A10)=0,"",SUM(A1:A10))

hi
replace your basic sum formaulas with this..
=if(Sum(A2:A10)=0,"",Sum(A2:A10))
or
=if(A9=0,"",A9)

lots of variations on this.

If you want to show a blank if the total is zero, then you could use
=IF(SUM(A2:A100)=0,"",SUM(A2:A100)) but this would give a blank if you have
genuine numbers that sum to zero.

If you want a blank result if all the input cells are blank, then try
=IF(COUNT(A2:A100),SUM(A2:A100),"")

If it is merely a display of the value "0" that you want to eliminate but
don't care if the content of the cell is "0" then under Tools\Options\View
uncheck the Zero values box

Thank you all for your quick response. I wish I understood the formulas
more...
