Here's a simple approach: =If(A1<=0," ",A1)

You're simple saying: If the result displayed in Cell A1 is less than or equal to 0, display what's between the parenthesis. It could be Yes, No, Blue, Green, or just Blank space. If Cell A1 is greater than 0, display the value of that cell.

You don't have to leave a space between the "" for the formula to work. Try a simple test of the formula on different values and watch as the cell will switch to a Blank value, if the Cell is less than or equal to 0.
