I have come across 0's in my spreadsheet ! Let me explain. I refer to a cell in a different sheet (same workbook) but if that cell is empty it now shows 0. I know it is a formatting problem but I have tried to format as text or general and the 0 is persistently there. What is causing this 0 and how do i get rid of it? Should I do this using conditional formatting (like using the ISERROR to "delete" N/A in a cell) or is there a more "normal" formatting that will do this? Thanks for your help. Jens N.
