is there a way to set a default value for a blank cell? eg. if the cell has no value make its value set to 0.
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Not really ... but select the range you want to fill, choose Edit|GoTo|Special|Blanks and click OK. Then type 0 and press Ctrl+Enter. That will put zero in all the cells.

Why would you want to unnecessarily contribute to an increased size of your workbook?

Why not just change your search criteria to "" (two quotation marks) instead? This represents a null value or empty cell.
