Replacing blank cells with zeros
 

I have a spreadsheet (500ishx40ish) that either has a number 0 or a blank.
I need to go through and insert a "0" in any cell that is blank. I cannot
come up with any conditional processing to do this and would like to avoid
having to manually go through all these cells and enter "0" where needed.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
Don

Assuming that the blank is not the rusult of a formula returning balnk you
can use...

F5 - Special Cells... - Blanks - Ok
All blank cells will now be selected
Type 0 and commit with Ctrl+Enter
