paste formula and skip blanks
 

dear all,

I want to paste the formula, but skip the blanks. Here is an example,

12 2 (=round(A1/7,0))
13 2
15 2
0
0
0
0
0
0
0

the second column is the formula. after calculating in B1 (round(A1/7,
0)), I copy B1 and then paste the whole B column. Instead of only
giving me 3 observations (B1~B3), excel also gives me zeros in the rest
of the cells. How do I ask excel not to paste these zeros?

Thank you for your help.

Would an IF statement work for you?

=IF(A1=0,"",round(A1/7,0))

The formula will still occupy the cell, but nothing will be displayed
if the corresponding cell in column A is zero.

paste formula and skip blanks
 

=IF(A10,(ROUND(A1/7,0)),"")

This formula will not display a 0 if A1 is empty so you can copy and paste
down


If you want to not include a formula at at you can use a macro.

If you want you can send me an example sheet and I will send you a macro
example of how else to fix it
