    Mirror sheet returning 0

    I have been trying to have a sheet that mirrors data, I am currently using =sheet1!a1 but if the cell is empty it returns a 0. I have tried the isblank and found that doesn't work. Any advice on how to make sure if it is empty it only returns a blank cell?

    One way

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

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    That worked awesome. What does the "," actually do? Is that the false statement?

    A double set of quotes is the null set. It's not necessarily the same as a blank. If a formula returns the null set ("") then ISBLANK will return FALSE. If a cell is blank however, it will still register true for null set (i.e. IF(A1="", will be True for a blank cell or for a cell containing ""

    Hope that helped.
