How do I eliminate #DIV/0 from formula below

=SUM((BR27)/(BR15+BR18))

Try this

=If (BR15+BR18=0,0,SUM((BR27)/(BR15+BR18)))

Jacob

Here is another for you to solve. and thanks again

AL

'=SUM((BR28+BR29)*(BR13))/(BR21+BR22) =#DIV/0!

Re: Jacob, I have another

Same sort of method. Use IF to see if the denominator (the number you're dividing by) equals 0. If it does then return 0, if not then return the formula i.e.

=IF(BR21+BR22=0,0,SUM((BR28+BR29)*(BR13))/(BR21+BR22))

SUM isn't needed...use this instead...

=IF(MOD(BR15,BR18),BR27/(BR15+BR18),0)
