Could be a settings issue.

There is an option to disply or not display zero values.

Might be the other Excel workbook has display zero values unchecked.

In 2003........Tools<OptionsViewWindow Options.

In 2007........ButtonExcel OptionsAdvancedDisplay options for this
worksheet.

Thanks for your answer€¦ but the strange thing is that I have an other excel
spreadsheet where this phenomena doesnt occur so I thought it could have
something to do with settings?

Modify your formula to:
=if(a1="","",a1)

Hi,

I have a cell reference in cell B1 (=A1).

If A1 is empty B1 shows "0". Why isn't B1 empty if A1 is?

Both cells have format General.
