Dear respected Ryan Meier,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

As per your description, you can automate the process of filling empty cells in a range with zeros in Excel using the "Find and Replace" feature. Here's how you can do it:

1.Select the range of cells where you want to replace the empty cells with zeros.

2.Press Ctrl + H to open the "Find and Replace" dialog box.

3.In the "Find what" field, leave it blank (to find empty cells).

4.In the "Replace with" field, enter 0.

5.Click on the "Replace All" button.

Excel will now go through the selected range and replace all empty cells with zeros.
