I have a worksheet that when i enter 0 in the cell, it does not display the value. I have that cell formatted for percentage. It shows as 0% in the formula bar, but nothing shows in the cell. I have other workbooks that displays them correctly.

Hi Brian,

Welcome to our forum!

Is the cell font colour formatted to the same colour as the cell? Is there Conditional Formatting applied to the cell that hides the font if the value =0?

Just a couple of ideas. If that doesn't work, please share your file so we can troubleshoot further.

Also check File - Options - Advanced, scroll down to the 'Display options for This Worksheet' section and check that the 'Show a zero in cells that have zero value' option is checked.

Thanks for assisting. Mynda, I am honored that you responded. I have taken a few of your courses. There is no conditional formatting. I am attaching the file. This is a multi tabbed file that has a lot of fill ins. What I mean is that they are all forms we uses all the time. But the PMs hate to fill out the same info in multiple forms. So we created this to fill in the info across multiple sheets.

The issue is on the Project Information Form tab. And it is cell(s) C28 & E29

Sorry. The file is probably not the greatest, but it sdeems to work for us. I appreciate you looking at it.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for sharing your workbook. Velouria's response above is the culprit.

Thanks. I was thinking that was the issue for sure. As I am sure you saw, multiple cells are pulling info from other sheets. So because it is blank in those sheets, it populates all those fields with 0 as well. No way around it I guess, but it just looks odd.

Thanks all.
