    Custom format to show 0% as "-"

    How do I code a custom format to show 0% as a dash? I know how to make it blank, but I don't really want that....my formulas are quite complex already so I'm not sure I want to do it as part of the formula...thanks!

    It does for the zeros but then the cells that have non-zero values are blank.
