Is it possible to have the data entry field filled with say '0" .  
My app has several data fields that need to have a value which can be zero but not blankl  
I find that the fiels is not easy to see initially either as the entry text label is a light coloured text.  
So when a new user comes to this screen for the first time I would prefer that the number entry fiels are pre-filled with zero

Hi, could you use **If then else** If field is empty then 0 else _whatever you want_

You can put 0 as default value in the cell in that sheet.
