    I would like to clean up some spreadsheets and remove empty cells (empty being showing the number Zero).  Using Replace 0 with “nothing” seemed to work but then I realised that it also affected figures like 120 and turned them to 12.  I am sure there is an easy solution to make it clear that only cells should be changed if the whole cell is Zero?

      Check box next to Match entire cell contents as in attached example.
