If you want to use Cell Formatting to display a dash when the cell value is 0, you would use this...

.NumberFormat = "[=0]-"

However, the .Value=.Value line of code makes it seem like you are trying to physically change the formatted dash to a real dash. If so, you cannot do it that way; rather, remove the two dotted code lines inside the With..EndWith block to this...

.Replace 0, "-", xlWhole, , , , False, False

Maybe this

Code:
Sub MM1()
Dim lastrow As Long
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    For Each c In Range("E2:E" & lastrow)
        If c.Value = 0 Then c.Value = "-"
        c.HorizontalAlignment = xlRight
    Next c
End Sub

Mr Rothstein

Thank You for the explanation. I did not realize this. the cell formatting is what I was looking to attain. I'll keep the other line of code in the repository.
