    Changing (blank) in a Pivot Table to Alternative Text

    I can use ;;; as a custom conditional format to remove (blank) from a Pivot Table, but how do I replace (blank) with some alternative text, say for example a dash "-"?

    Many thanks

    Hi HangMan,

    You have already given your answer. When you replace (blank) with conditional format by using " ;;; " with Conditional Format - Specific Text Rule, Then just add " - " after " ;;;".

    So you use " ;;;- " in conditional formatting to replace the (blank) with " - ".


    Let me know if it solve your purpose.
