Default use IF to return a truly blank cell


I often use if statements to return empty cells, for example:

=IF(a1=0,"ERROR","")

The trailing "" returns an empty cell. The problem is, it is not TRULY
empty. If I fill that formula down, I cannot, for example, jump from
one "ERROR" cell to the next by hitting Ctrl arrow-down because it
seems to think that these empty cells have contents.

Is there a way to designate, in such a formula as above, to return a
TRULY empty cell?

Thanks
