What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Does the cell have a formula? If so you can change the formula to

=MAX(0, your_formula)

where your_formula is your original formula. This will change the value - if you just want to display as zero, without changing the underlying value you could custom format something like

0;"0";0
