have a formula that combines two cells return a zero instead of a blank cell

this sheet looks at the reference number and combines the total units together for the same product lines, i need the blank cells to be returned with a zero instead of being blank so the sheet will sum the counts correctly.

at the moment we filter all the blank cells and then add the zero in order to be able to sum the total picks.

i have highlighted blank cells in red.

Code:

=IF(COUNTIF($I$2:I2,I2)=1,SUMIF($I$2:$I$433,I2,$H$2:$H$433),"0")

Paste J2 and drag down

@Kubi
The formula provided will return 0 as a text string, not as a number. ( which can sometimes cause problems)
Removing the double quotes around the 0 will do the trick
