How do I replace empty cells in a range of data with the special character - ?
I tried using the following method:
Selecting the range of data, Edit Goto Special Blanks Point to a
cell in the adjacent column with ' - '...
When I selected the first cell in the adjacent column, the blanks in the
selected range is replaced with ' - ' as desired. but if any other cell in
teh adjacent column is selected, the some blanks in the selected range are
filled with 0's.
What is the reason for this?

It doesnot fill 0's, it fills 1, 2, 3 or 4... PS. my data contain only these
numbers. I also want to know whether this has any relevance.
This happens even if I selcted the 1st cell in a different column!!!

Hi Excelent, when you select New and click question, a pop-up window is
opened. the way it does when you reply! Check whether pop-ups are allowed...
If this is also not working, I can only ask you to try using what I had to
do the first time...
I was searching for a query, while displaying the results, it gave an option
"search again/ post a new query".... try this
Regards.
