You don't say why you want to have cells displayed only if the contain data.
You could -
hide whole rows or whole columns
format cells to be white on white
change the width and height of rows or columns to expand the image to
the size of the screen
change the zoom
set the view to "page break preview"

To add to Bill's shopping list.........you can, through VBA code, restrict the
Scroll Area of the sheet.
