Copying Worksheets
 

I have a large workbook in which I have a saved worksheet that is used to
make other identical worksheets. The saved worksheet is working properly in
regards to formulas, leaving cells blank, etc. However when I copy this
worksheet to another worksheet in the workbook one column which uses the SUM
function changes from a blank cell to one containing a 0 if there is no data
in any of the fields that it is summing. I cant have this.

I have tried clear formatting only with the result that the 0 just reduces
in size - as does anything in the column that has real results.

Thanks

If a formula evaluates to zero but the zero doesn't display it would seem
you have unchecked "zero values" under Tools, Options, View. You'd need to
do that for every sheet where you wanted this result.
