Default Cell blank

in the excel options - advanced
there is an option to "Show a zero in cells that have zero value"
uncheck that to display nothing

i hope this helps.

Default Cell blank

Thank you! Unchecking that box took care of the issue I was having
referencing a column of dates in another workbook. When there is no date, it
was displaying 1/0/00 because the cell value was blank, technically "zero".
Unchecking it did the trick!
