I assume you mean a floating point number - if you want a number (floating or integer) to show as blank, enter a space

It's a couple of years since chaley added the 'enter space to blank a number' feature, around the same time he added 'enter minus to blank a Date', and 'enter equals to make a Date (and time) equal to your computer's date & time'.

Another way to blank a date is to put 0000 as the year.

Thank you for all of this. It really does help.
