How do I stop my Pivot tables from spelling out (blank)?
Whenever I have blank cells in the source data for my pivot tables in Excel,
instead of the table returning a blank value, it spells out "(blank)". Is there any way to return a blank value, other than through changing all of the blank cells in the source data to " "? |

How about just changing the (blank) to a space bar--just type a space bar right
in that cell in the pivottable itself.

How do I stop my Pivot tables from spelling out (blank)?
Dave,
Thank you for the reply- however I use one data source for several different tables, and there are several fields that contain blanks. I think changing the original source is probably the best solution. In the meantime, I took your advice and wrote up a quick macro to find and replace the text- Contextures is a very helpful site.

When I want cell to look empty, I use =""
I can still check for: =if(a1="",...) and it's easier to notice in the formula bar than " ".
