If I put 5,4,,,3,,2,1 in afile.csv and open it in LO3.6 I can then put
the equation =b1*c1 in an empty cell and the result is 0.
Do you not get that. What version of LO.

So the cells are the result of opening a .csv file where the string
has nothing between commas such as
5,4,,,3,,2,1
between the consecutive commas is nothing, so the cell should be made
totally empty.

I missing something.

I'm not sure what you're missing, but my LO spreadsheets always
treat blank cells as zeros. I'm not that well versed in
spreadsheets, but I've never had the problem you describe.

I have just tried in LO 3.6 and a blank cell is treated as zero. A
cell with text in it such as a space causes an error in
calculations. Do you mean that Excel and Open Office treat white
space characters as zero.
