Why does Excel think blank = zero ?
Hi all,
I have a number of columns which are linked to column A; specifically, the values are linked to be the same (C2 = A2, etc). Why on earth does Excel return a 0 when the source cell is, in fact, blank? This is so wrong! Hasn't anyone explained to Bill Gates that zero and null are two different things? How do I get round Excel's error? So far the only solution I found is using an If formula (=if(a2="","",a2) , but that's like killing a mosquito with a nuclear bomb! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
