Default Blank cells instead of zero

Hi All,

I have a sheet where I load values based on selections from dropdown
boxes. I also have the option of Drilling down on cells which will
display children below the parent cells. When I do a drill down, the
cells that do not have a numeric value change to zero and immediately
update to be blank cells. I want them to be displayed as zeros. How
can i do that? The format of these cells is 'custom' format!!!

Thanks,
Haarish.

It sounds like you may have viewing zeroes turned off. Click on
Tools/Options on Excel's menu bar and click the View tab on the dialog box
that appears... do you have the "Zero values" check box in the "Window
options" section unchecked?
