I have an Access table that has zeros in the column. Is there a way if a record has a zero for a specific column to make it blank rather than have a zero in it?
 
Format field??

I tried the 0.0;-0.0;"" in the format of the field I want to correct. Right now the datatype is in text due to import issues. When I change it to datatype number and put 0.0;-0.0;"" in the format it makes everything in the column a zero.

Any ideas of what to do??

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.

create new table from your using query.
in that field (for example its name is xxx) write:
xxxN:val(xxx)
then format again in the new table
