    Formating an empty cell to not result in "0".

    I'm wanting Sheet1 to ready information from Sheet2. If certain cells on Sheet2 have no data, the corresponding Sheet1 cell enters it as "0".
    Is there a way for this cell leave blank rather than "0"?

    In merged cells with text entered to form a paragraph statement. Is there a way to equally justify the text within the boundaries of the merged cells?

    Try custom formatting the cells as 0;;"" and see if that works for you.

    Is the data that you are returning through your formula a text value or numeric? If a text value, then you can add &"" at the appropriate place in your formula (I can't see your formula, so I can't say exactly where it should go).

    Hope this helps.

    Buyer Letter Tab
    Architectural Plans: Cell D28 ='Estimating Sheet'!F143, whereas ('Estimating Sheet'!F143) either is a Y or Blank. If there is no information in that Cell (Blank) I want Architectural Plans: Cell D28 to be blank rather than "0".

    Okay, change the formula to this in D28:

    ='Estimating Sheet'!F143&""

    That will ensure that if the cell is blank then a blank will be returned.

    Hope this helps.
