Microsoft Excel: zeros on linked sheets

205| Thu, 22 May 2008 23:09:00 GMT| anonymous| Comments (2)
When I paste a row link from another sheet it puts "0" in all the empty cells is there a way to stop this and still have the cell update when I add information on the first sheet
Many Thanks from Ohio

Use a formula such as the following:-

=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1)

Basically says that if the cell it is linked to is blank, then return a 'blank'
(albeit not a real one - cell is not actually empty), else return the value that
is in the cell.
