    Copying dates from one worksheet to another

    Hi,

    Im copying a date entered in a cell on one worksheet, to another cell on another worksheet using :

    ='Archive'!E13

    as the reference. It works fine when there is a date in the original cell location, but when the original cell it is empty it displays

    00/01/1900

    instead of leaving it blank. Can anyone help please? I'm sure this is easy enough, but im a bit thick

    Another way is to tell Excel not show "zero" values on that particular sheet. Then your existing formula will work fine.

    Tools > Options > View > [ ]zero values ... uncheck that.


    This setting applies to just the active sheet, it's not a global setting.
