You have a point, but I specifically wanted a blank for "no value" and
the person I'm writing the program for agreed. The table is a list of
players at a tournament with their total points. Then there are four
columns for different tiebreakers. But usually the first tiebreaker
is decisive and printing all of them has confused people in the past.
The program shows only the tiebreakers that are relevant and blanks
for the rest (even though they are calculated).
