Follow the simple formula in the Excel video tutorial and learn the easy solution to stop a zero appearing when copying blank cells in Excel.

The second method was exactly what I needed! Thank you very much! The first method worked, but converted number type to text type in LibreOffice Calc. Thanks Again!

This is what I use, but the biggest problem I have is that it still returns "data" to the cell which can cause blank pages to print. This isn't a huge problem, but if you're using it to grab info for template reorganization with columns of variable lengths, then you're getting a mess of extra pages. For example:
=IF('List of Findings'!I:I="", "", 'List of Findings'!I:I)
Will indeed return a blank cell instead of a 0, but it then populates as many extra pages as are left in the document. I want this to be a simple data compiler for coworkers who are functionally computer illiterate, and honestly something as simple as the "don't print 0s" option would confuse them.

So is there a way in the workbook to save it so that Excel will skip over blank rows and treat them as if they don't hold any data?
