Default What is the simplest way

Change the cells number format
Format Cells Number
Then select custom

It has 4 sections separated by semi-colon
Positive;negative;zero;text
so for eg.
"0.00";[RED]-"0.00";""
Positives: 2 decimal places
Negatives: 2 decimal places in red
Zero : is blank

Although i prefer to use the dash
"0.00";[RED]-"0.00";"-"
The dash is less intrusive but still lets you know the cell has a value
and is not blank
