Remove (blank) from pivot table

Hi,

My source data has empty cells.  When I PT this data - the PT shows "(blank)" for the empty cells.  How can I keep the cells "empty" in the PT.  I do not want to manually filter and uncheck (blank) as this removes other data which is needed.

TIA,

PS

If you get *.zip, don't unzip, just rename *.xlsx

    that's more like it!!!! Thank you very much!!! it's there but it's white... works better where you have data in the initial table that can't be changed with the precious method (example data from ODBC Query from Mysql)...

    Thanks again!

    If there is an external data connection, my method will not work.

    All--when I use the method outlined above my pivot table displays the literal ' instead of an empty cell.

    Also, this is a dynamic sheet that is connected to outside data. When there is a data refresh what will happen?

    Thanks!

    I'm using Version 10.
