Linked cells - why '0' when blank?
I have a summary sheet & 2 detail sheets in the same workbook. I want the
header info from the summary sheet to copy to the 2 detail sheets. I've linked the cells, but the problem is - when the summary sheet cell is blank, the cells on the detail sheets show a '0'. Hwo can I get them to stay blank? -- -Lynn F. PMP |

Use something like this:
=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1) Hope this helps.

=if(summary!a1="","",summary!a1)
is a way to avoid this. Lynn wrote: I have a summary sheet & 2 detail sheets in the same workbook. I want the header info from the summary sheet to copy to the 2 detail sheets.
