I have a pivot table that shows values & no values, fair enough

Some of the values = 0 (zero) due to a calculation in the sheet
Most Values > 0
Some Values = <BLANK>because they were not sold that week

I was under the impression that <BLANK><BLANK>was different to 0 (zero)
but if I run conditional format to highlight all Zeros all my blanks get highlighted too.

Pivot table values do not work with text so I understand that <BLANKS>is going to be a wierd one. However if in Pivoty Table Options put:
If Cell is Empty .0001

Conditional format < 0 does not do anything to cells that = .0001

How do I get around this
I only want to format where cell really is 0 (zero)
I dont want to create a value for blank cells as I do not want to mess with the results in the totals

I am using Excel 2010

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Conditional format < 0 does not do anything to cells that = .0001

of course it doesnt .0001 is NOT less that 0 is it lol

Oh boy should have read it before posting
