I created a multi-page spreadsheet file originally in LibreOffice Calc (herein after "Calc") and I am now working with it using Microsoft Excel. This is a tool I use to create a week-based report of stores I need to visit. There's a separate data entry sheet, and then four successive report sheets, each identical in layout but each one showing the next successive set of entries. This enables me to enter up to one month's worth of scheduling.
Some days, I am not visiting a particular store. On such a day, I would leave the store number cell blank on the data entry sheet. On the corresponding report entry for that day, I expect all the cells containing formulas (mostly vlookup formulas, but some just straight math formulas) to appear blank. Now, whether I'm using Calc or Excel, I expect that the default thing it will do is to show me some kind of message stating there's no valid data to display. Both show the statement "#N/A". What I want to happen is to change that text to white, so that the cell appears to be blank. The fact that "#N/A" is actually in there doesn't matter.
In Calc, I'm able to use Conditional Formatting to control for this, wherein I tell it if the cell's value doesn't equal anything (strictly, if it's equal to 0) then color the text white.
I can't for the life of me get this to work in Excel. For laughs, I even tried the conditional value of "#N/A" and that also didn't work. Does anyone here have an idea how I might achieve a similar result to what I get in Calc?
