What is the simplest way

probably not the quickest way...but if my sheet has no background colour
(i.e - its white), I just apply a conditional format to colour the font
white if its equal to zero, then paint the format wherever you want it.
Does the trick for me.

Try the following in order to make all zeros show blank.

Click on Tools - Options
Select the View tab
Deselect the Zero values option
Click on OK

Change the cells number format
Format > Cells > Number
Then select custom

It has 4 sections separated by semi-colon
Positive;negative;zero;text
so for eg.
"0.00";[RED]-"0.00";""
Positives: 2 decimal places
Negatives: 2 decimal places in red
Zero : is blank

Although i prefer to use the dash
"0.00";[RED]-"0.00";"-"
The dash is less intrusive but still lets you know the cell has a value
and is not blank
