Formating cells with 2 decimal places within a template

I have created a template where by I have a 50 rows and 5 columns. All columns and rows contain numbers which are formated as 2 decimal places. When I open the template and only enter 25 rows of data the remaining 25 rows show '0' in the cells. How do I make it so that cells with no data or sums show as an empty cell?

Excel tip:

Deleting a range of cells using the autofill handle

Firstly, select the range of cells for which you would like to clear the contents. Then drag the autofill handle to the the top left corner of the selection whilst holding down the shift key. Your selected contents should then be deleted.
