A Pivot Table report has many entries that are blank and will be filled in as
info. becomes available. The problem is the Pivot Table displays the word
"Blank". Is there any way to prevent that from displaying and it just shows
an entry line if there's nothing in the field?

After to build your Pivot Table, click the down arrow that has the data with
the blanks in it, scroll down to the bottom of the list, and uncheck the box
that says (blank).

As an alternative, you can take a look at this:

Wait, there is one more thing you can do if you are using VBA code:
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("State")
.PivotItems("(blank)").Visible = False
End With

This is just an example; you would certainly have to modify it for your
specific purposes.

Thanks for the help, but when i uncheck the box all the data hides, I just
want the "blank: word to be removed for eg.

Count of Names
Sr. No Names tel. No Total
1 Kishor 25413698 1
2 rajendra 18745986 1
3 vijay 15873695 1
4 David (blank) 1
5 sanjay 14598534 1
Grand Total 5

This is the example of pivot table which i have copied, I just want the word
"blank" to be removed.

Hi

you can remove work 'Blank' from pivot table very easly. Select the column where word blank is coming, go to edit and select replace now in Find write (Blank) and in replace just press tab button two times then ok..... now you can see blank is removed from pivot..
