Default

Arvi's formula uses the null text string ("") which often has unwanted results if you need to work with those "empty" cells later

There are other solutions without that risk :
use your formula as before and

- conditionally format cells containing a 0 to background color (which is not the best solution)
or

- click File - Options - Advanced - Display options for this worksheet ( change to book if needed) - Uncheck " show a zero in cells that have zero value" (the easiest solution)

or
- custom format cells as 0;-0;;@
