MS Excel Query

Is it possible to make cells that contain formulas appear empty. I always get 0.00 showing?

Yes.

Assuming you only want the cell to show a number when it is not zero highlight the cell click on format then conditional formatting.
enter in the boxes cell value is equal to 0

then click on format select white as the colour (assuming you are leaving the cell white!) then ok ok

Hope this helps

Or use "IF".

For example, =IF(A1=0,"",A1) will leave the cell blank if cell A1 is 0 otherwise it shows the correct value.

Another way is to change the format :

Menu - Format, Cells, Custom, and then type in ;;; (three semi colons)

Formulae and text still exist, but can only be seen in the formulae bar at the top of the screen.

If you want to hide ALL the zero values without formatting each cell, then in the Tools => Options => View tab untick the "zero values" box and no more zeros.
