Default Can I empty the cell who has formula in it

I have a cell, eg. A10, has formula referring to a cell's value. eg. =A5 * 5

If A5 has empty value the value of A10 is 0. Can I make it empty rather than
0 ?

A waste of my time and effort answering your same posting under a different
subject in another news group.

Better you should cross-post rather than multi-post.

Or you can format the cell to not display zeros:

#,##0;-#,##0;;@
