How do I avoid fields being automatically filled in by default?
 
How do I avoid fields being automatically filled in by default? For example,
the formula for C1 is:

=SUM(A1-B1)

If nothing is yet entered in A1 or B1, then C1 is given the value "0"
I would like it to remain blank as a default.

Thanks again for your help

Jason,

Go to:

Tools Options, specifically the "View" tab

Make sure the "Zero values" checkbox is deselected. That should take care
of it.
