Making cells show nothing
I have a master workbook that I use to compile entries from about 25 different individual's workbooks. I have a page for each person set up and was just using a formula "=[workbook_name]sheet_name!cell_reference"(i.e. ='[Auditor Savings Jan 06.xls]Audits'!$A$29). As the month goes on, each individual creates entries and those lines are fine. My problem is that a line that does not yet have data entered is showing up on my master as either "0" or 1/0/00. Is there a way to have the master page just show as blank when the data page doesn't have anything entered yet? I tried using conditional formatting (if cell is equal to 0), but that didn't do anything. Any suggestions? -- kimmer4861 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kimmer4861's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30755 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=504221 |

Take the following and expand it to suit your data. Say that you want to
reference A1 in your formula, say "=A1*5". You want that cell to show blank if A1 is blank. Do something like the following: =If(A1="","",A1*5) HTH Otto "kimmer4861" wrote in message ...

Hi,
If you want to suppress all the zeros in the worksheet, then go to Tools-Options, View Tab and uncheck 'Zero values'. This will suppress all zero values in that specific sheet..

Thanks so much! I thought it would be something simple, I just couldn't think of what it was. -- kimmer4861 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kimmer4861's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30755 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=504221 |
