Hi pedie,
Yes, there are two ways I can think of.
Firstly, you could use this formula:
=IF(LEN(data2!A7)=0,"",data2!A7)
Or, you can simply hide zeros. This may be preferable if you want to analyse the result in a formula. To do this, follow these three steps (Excel 2003 and prior):
1. From the Tools menu select Options
2. From the View tab, unclick the Zero values option
3. Click OK
Regards,
Robert
