    On formula answer if a 0 (zero) answer, must be blank

    Hi There,

    I have the following formula in a cell that does a calculation.

    =BI2*X2

    If there is no values to calculate then it returns a 0 (zero) where I then need the cell to be blank.

    How do I need to change the formula to leave the cell blank if the answer returned is zero?

    Use Excel Options/Advanced/Display Options For This Worksheet and uncheck the 'Show a 0 in cells that have a 0 value' option.

    As you can probably guess, this is set at a worksheet level.

    This can also be done using Cell Formats or Conditional Formatting but the Options setting is the simplest.
