Tools / Options / View / uncheck "Zero values"
is the simplest way. That allows your zeros to be stored as 'number' values and not impede calculations as a "" (blank space) will, but it also turns off zeroes from appearing in any session of Excel until it's turned off. And it won't affect others' view of the zeroes unless they also turn it off. (An On_Open macro could force that.)
Otherwise, you could use Conditional Formatting to show zero values as white-on-white, for example, but I don't usually recommend that.
Alternatively, and maybe best of all, you could create a custom number format that will display [nothing] if a value is zero. (There already is an Accounting style or format that replaces "0" with "-", and this is what I use most frequently. Select the "," -- Comma Style icon -- from the Standard Formatting toolbar.)
Here is your formula:
=IF(A1=0,"it is zero","it is not zero")
Of course, you can put any text you want, including "" for blank cell, and, actually, any formula instead of "".
Use Conditional formating if answer is zero select white phonts.
Is anyone on here experienced with Microsoft Excel? I need a favor, please.

No matter what cells I select, the freeze panes option always selects the first 15 rows to freeze. How do I fix this in Excel 2010?

I need a formula in Excel that does the following..
If the value in cell A1=X, then multiply cell B1 by 5..if A1=Y, then multiply B1 by 8.

When I sort a list in Excel it sorts A to Z then A to Z again, not the same items, just half of it on top and half on bottom. Why?

You're reading If the result of a forumula is zero, I would like for Excel to display a blank cell rather than 0.00.
