Is there a way to insert blank vs zeros into a 2D array? I have some 1D array (some of them only contain 1 numeric digit) as inputs to my build array function and the output of this build array function is a 2D array therefore some of the empty spaces will be filled with zeros. How can I replace those zeros with blanks?
it seems impossible in numerical arrays. however, if you can accept outputs in string format, then you may check the input numerical array for zeros and replace them with empty strings.
I don't think you can populate them with blanks, but you could populate with NaN. To create a NaN take and divide 0/0, then turn the indicator into a constant. Now you can input that constant anywhere you want.

The other answers already posted address your question directly.
Now for something different.
If you put a 1-d array inside a cluster, and then put that cluster inside an array, you will not have to deal with the blanks at all!
This will require an additional "bundle" when building and anothe un-bundle when un-packing, but does side-step the "rectactular" requirement of 2-d arrays.
