How not to display null values (0's and/or #DIV/0!'s?

[absinthe]

Is there a relatively simple way to format a sheet or an entire workbook so
that cells with null references display as EMPTY instead of showing 0's or
#DIV/0!'s?

You could use conditional formatting to hide the errors (use the same color font
as fill). The cells will still hold the errors, but they'll look empty.

Or you could change the formulas to check the denominator before doing the
division:

=if(b1=0,"",a1/b1)

Mmmm ... I especially like the first idea. Seems rather elegant. I'll give
it a shot.

Thanks,
