transferring data from one sheet to another in Excel Closed

Question

I followed the instructions for transferring data between Excel spreadsheets using the +Sheet(X)!((XY) formula.  So glad I found your article!  This works fantastic!!!!  However, I do have one question ....... 
I have set up sheet 1 to contain all the pertinent info for sheets 2 and 3 (which are the actual forms needed).  However, if there is nothing to enter in a cell (simply because not every order requires all fields) it still fills in those cells with a "0" on the forms in sheets 2 & 3.  And I understand why .... the formula is there and with no info the "answer" must be 0.
But is there a way to hide that so that it doesn't print/show?  Or will I have to just delete the formula in the field on that form each time?

We are a group of volunteeers, so we are not familiar with all that is published here.
Give us the URl from which you cut and pasted, and we should be able to assist in trapping a blank value!

Hello KKunard,
You may have to introduce an IF statement to clear the "0". As an example:-
=IF(Sheet1!A1="","",Sheet1!A1)
The formula basically says: if sheet1 cell A1 is blank, leave a blank otherwise input the A1 value.
I hope that this helps.
Cheerio,
vcoolio.
