Default empty display in place of 0.0 ... possible?

Someone here was kind enough to provide a formula which converts kg in one
column to lbs in another.

Is it possible where there is no kg value, that the lb value instead of
displaying 0.0, displays an empty cell?

Thanks, Dave Horne Excel 2007

One way is to apply conditional formatting to the cell, such that if
the cell value is zero then the foreground colour is set to white (so
it appears blank).

Hope this helps.

Something like this
Assuming A2 contains the kg value
=IF(A2="","",<formula involving A2)

Instead of:
=CONVERT(1000*A1,"g","lbm")
use:
=IF(A1="","",CONVERT(1000*A1,"g","lbm"))

Try this:
=IF(ISBLANK(A1),"",A1*0.31)
Replace 0.31 by the real kg to lb rate!
