Blanks or zeros

Posted by Andy on December 05, 2001 4:27 AM

I have a master spreadsheet that contains links to several other data spreadsheets. Cells on the master spreadsheet that are linked to blank cells on the data spreadsheet show as zeros. Cells on the master spreadsheet that link to zero cells on the data spreadsheet also show as being zero on the master spreadsheet.

Is there any way to differentiate between the zero's and blanks on the master spreadsheet?

You could use something like . . .
IF(ISBLANK(A1), "", A1)

Select all of the blanks on the master spreadsheet
use Edit | Go To... | Special Blanks. Type ="" and
press Control+Enter.
