We can leave a cell blank if the value in it is zero by formatting the cell to remove the zero value. This tutorial will teach us how to leave cell blank if zero.
Figure 1: If zero leave blank
If Cell is Blank then Leave Blank
- To do this, we will prepare our table of values including all the zero figures present in the data.
Figure 2: Data for if 0 leave blank
We will highlight the entire range A4:C10 and right-click to select format cells. In the Format cell dialog box, we will click on custom, then we will select the general and type a double semicolon “;;” in front of the word general and we will then click OK.
