    How Can I Make '0" Appear In Cell?

    I have been working on a workbook, and have it almost finished, with the great help of some of you folks! What I want to know is how I can get the number 0 to appear in a cell, rather then it just going blank when a 0 is placed in it. It is important as the people completing the workbook will want to see that they have responded to a particular item. I also want the 0 to count as a response, which I think it does anyway, it just does not appear. Can anyone help. I think it is probably a simple calculation!! Thanks.

    I am using Excel 2003 & when I palce a 0 in a cell the cell displays the 0

    If I enter 0123 the cell will display 123

    What version of Excel are you using?
    How ids the cells formatting?
    Is it the result of a formula?

    On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab and see if the Zero values check box is ticked

    There is no such thing as a problem, only a temporary lack of a solution


    In formulas,you might need to replace ; with , depending on your XL version

    Still No Solution to Allow Zeros To Appear In Cells ???

    I am using Excel 2004 for the Macintosh and there is not an "Options" choice in the tool bar? Is there any place else that this can be? I am stumped!
