Question about showing Games Back on my Standings page

Hi,

I'm looking to show how many games behind a division leader each team in my division. I would also like to replace any 0s with "-" (an en dash).

The formula I was using to show Games Back was: =INDIRECT("$B$14")-B15 etc. (in case you still weren't sure what sort of newb I was...). To replace 0s with dashes, I would move that to a reference cell off to the side, and then in the important cell I'd use something like: =IF(Q14=0,"-",Q14). Obviously if I put this two formulas together I'd wind up with a circular reference.

Is it possible to calculate games back using an absolute reference while also replacing 0s (for first place teams) with a dash?

Here's what things look like now:

Excel 2007
BCDE
3WLW %GB
4
5430.571-
6430.571-
7430.571-
8340.4291
9340.4291
10250.2862
Standings


Thanks for any and all feedback!
