replacing only zeros

[pseudonym]

Hello,
I have an excel spread sheet that contains numerous zeros in cells.
I would like to replace the zeros with the words hi; however I do not
want to replace zeros in cells that are part of other numbers like
2.07. I would like the cell that has the value 2.07 to remain 2.07 but
a cell with the value of 0 should be changed to hi.

Thanks!

If your zero's are the results of formulas, you can wrap your formulas in an
IF statement, like

=IF((YourFormula)=0,"hi",(YourFormula))

If your zeroes are *not* the results of a formula, you could try,
<Edit> <Replace>,

Enter 0 in the "Find What" box,
And "hi" (no quotes) in the "Replace With" box,
And *CHECK*
"Find Entire Cells Only"

Then <Replace All>

You can use formatting to change the zero cells:

Select all the cells that you want to format
Choose Format>Cells
Select the Number tab
Select the Custom Category
In the text box, type: General;General;"hi"
Click OK
