Default Confusing Problem


I have a cell with an equation:

[=sum(if(sheet1A1:A100,1,0))]

in sheet1 cells A1:A10, I have a second equations that says:

=if(B1=0,"",C1)

The problem is the first sum function counts the cells with the "" as
being a number that is greater than zero.

However, if I manually delete the information in the cells that had a
"" entered from the second equation, I noticed it does not count the
cell as being greater than zero.

Why does Excel consider the value of a cell to be greater than zero
when the contents of the cell are blank from the second equation.

How do I get Excel to not consider this to be greater than zero?
