Editing formula results so zeros appear blank
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has found a way for a formula result which calculates to zero to show as a blank cell. -- Cheers, Holly |

=if(yourformula=0,"",yourformula)

2 thoughts:
a. Switch off zeros display in the sheet via clicking: Tools Options View tab Uncheck Zero values OK b. Use something like this: =IF(yourformula=0,"",yourformula) (a) gives a neat uncluttered look, easy to apply & retains the underlying zero values (b) converts the formula returns of zeros to null strings: "", which appear "blank" -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Holly" wrote: Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has found a way for a formula result which calculates to zero to show as a blank cell. -- Cheers, Holly |

One trick is to allow the formula to return a zero, but "hide" it by
means of conditional formatting on that cell - if the cell content is zero then print with a white foreground (which on a white background will not show). Hope this helps.

I have a similar problem as this but want to return an actual blank cell not
an empty string (""). Any ideas?

If a cell has a formula all it can do is display a value from that formula
There is no way the formula can delete itself. best wishes -- Bernard Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme "Brian" wrote in message ...
