Zero in the cell instead of some junk date

[sunita_shaw]

Plz let me know how can I get zero in a cell whose format is set to a
date format

C3 K3 I3
System testing 10-Feb-06 11-Feb-06
e.g

IF(OR(C3="Test Planning",C3="Project Planning"),IF(K3<>"",K3,I3),0)

But here I get 00-Jan-00 if it dose not match...
How can i get a zero displayed

Try enclosing the zero with quotes, like "0"
