I have vlookups that are returning "0" in the cell. I would like to do conditional formatting so that the text will change to be the same as the background color so that 0 all disappear.
What conditional formatting formula would I use for this?
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
If you have 0 results in column A

you can use

Excel Formula:
=$A2=0

and then apply font color white or whatever the cells color is.

Another option without conditional formatting is

Excel Formula:
=IF(VLOOKUP()=0,"",VLOOKUP())
