I have searched the site and I cannot find what I am after. I have a sheet which use for authorising overtime timesheets. I have written the formulas and now I want to hide them. In excel 1997-2003 version, I could do this but I have been away from this type of work for at least a good 5 years. (Even this site has evolved since I last used it.).

Where I have put data in, that's fine but where there is no data, I want to show a blank cell. I have searched options in excel but I cannot find anything. I know it is a pretty simple operation but I have spent too long now trying to find it.
Can someone help me out of my misery please?
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
If the #N/A! are the result of formulas you could try this.

=IFERROR(yourformula, "")

In Page Setup/ Sheet tab. "Cell errors as:" = change to a more appropriate option.
