How would you assign a blank value to empty cells so that they are NOT interpreted as NULL values when saving an Excel file into a tab deliminted text file?

How would you assign a blank value to empty cells so that they are not interpreted as NULL values when saving an Excel 2010 file as a tab delimited text file?

For example, values in columns E, G and J should not have any Null values.

I will ultimately be importing this tab delimited text file into a Sybase table using DBArtisan's import wizard and some fields in the Sybase table have "Nulls = No" setting.
