Excel pivot table: How to hide zero values

microsoft-excel-2007pivot table

I've got two tables and two pivot tables for each of them respectively. In the first table, the duration of each task is calculated on a column called "duration", but in the second one, there is no such column and duration of each task is a calculated field in the pivot table. As you can see, in the first pivot table, tasks with zero time are not shown. But in the second pivot table, where durations are calculated fields, zero time tasks are shown as "0:00". How can I hide zero times like in the first table?

Right click on your PivotTable and select Pivot-Table Options, then use the For empty cells, show option - like here:

Ok, in case there is a Number like 0 or 00:00 in your Data and you don't want to display this too, you can solve it with a custom number format - like # or hh:mm:ss;hh:mm:ss;"";.

In excel's help you find this: <POSITIVE>;<NEGATIVE>;<NULL>;<TEXT> as the basic form for user-formats - so, this format here [h]:mm;[h]:mm;"";@ hides 00:00.
