I am trying to perform a simple calculation =I2-H2 and copy it down. However if a zero appears in I2 , I want the formula to place a zero in J2 where the formula will exist. I have searched for an answer that address this without luck.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
This seems straightforward enough.
Code:
=IF(I2=0,0,I2-H2)
