When calc formulas producing empty strings are evaluated in the default
mode, an empty cell is produced. When evaluated in duration mode (U, T,
or t) a zero duration is produced. I feel the behavior should be
consistent with the number formats, producing a empty value instead of a
zero.

Test case:

| case         |   result |
|--------------+----------|
| default mode |          |
| default + E  |          |
| U + E        |    00:00 |
| T + E        | 00:00:00 |
| t + E        |     0.00 |
#+TBLFM: @2$2=string("")::@3$2=string("");E::@4$2=string("");EU::@5
$2=string("");ET::@6$2=string("");Et


Analysis: the problem (if it is a problem) is here:
https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/src/master/lisp/org-table.el#L2616
The value produced for durations always comes from a call to
string-to-number, which returns 0 for empty strings.
org-table-time-seconds-to-string turns that into a zero duration
string in the requested format. An explicit test for an empty value here
fixes the issue.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the test case. I’ve been able to reproduce the behaviour, and agree
that the inconsistency is an issue. As such, I’ve marked this as a bug on
updates.orgmode.org.

All the best,
Timothy
