I agree with Pedro. A null text is not to be treated as a numeric zero. An
empty cell may be calculated as a zero but a null text is not an empty cell.
If have found the #VALUE result of mixing null text within a calculation to
be a good debugging and alert technique that the values elsewhere in my
spreadsheet have become messed up.

I could agree with that, but it would have been nice if they thought
of that since 1.0 and not changing it on the way, breaking a whole lot
of spreadsheets…


Let's assume we have this example:
A2:
=IF(A1=6;"";B1)

Now, in some cases, A2 will be an empty string, so =A2+1 will fail in
another cell, right? Is there another way to make A2 look empty in
this case, making it useable for calculations? Something like the
following:
=IF(A1=6;SomethingNiceToPutHere;B1)



Kind regards
