Method 1. Hide the zeros using Tools>Options>View. Uncheck "zero values"

Method 2. Use an IF formula in the linked cells.

=IF(ISBLANK(Sheet1!A1,"",Sheet1A1)

If you have a great whack of these, after you paste the links, run this macro
on the selected range.

Sub ISBLANK_Add()
Dim myStr As String
Dim cel As Range
For Each cel In Selection
If cel.HasFormula = True Then
If Not cel.Formula Like "=IF(ISBLANK*" Then
myStr = Right(cel.Formula, Len(cel.Formula) - 1)
cel.Value = "=IF(ISBLANK(" & myStr & "),""""," & myStr & ")"
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
