Divide By Zero Error

[paul29berks]

Does anyone know how I can prevent the #DIV/0 error appearing?

Thanks

Don't divide by 0.

But seriously folks, why do you have 0's in your denominator? Can you fix this or do you just want to suppress the error? To suppress the error, you could do something like: =IF(B1,A1/B1,0)

 

[paul29berks]

=IF(OR(AR18=0,$AR22=0),($BN18)/($BN22)*$CF22,(AR18/$AR22)*$CF22)

This is the formula I am using

 

[Seti]

So if AR18 or AR22 is 0, use the BN cells, otherwise use the AR cells. Therefore, the DIV by 0 is because BN22 is 0. What do you want to have happen if BN22 is 0 while one of the 2 AR cells is also 0?

 

[paul29berks]

Just to display a 0 value

 

[Seti]

Then try this:

IF(OR(AR18=0,$AR22=0),IF($BN22,($BN18)/($BN22)*$CF22,0),(AR18/$AR22)*$CF22)

or a little cleaner, pull the CF22 outside the IF

IF(OR(AR18=0,$AR22=0),IF($BN22,($BN18)/($BN22),0),(AR18/$AR22))*$CF22

Thanks for your help

I have the following formula which I am using and divide by zero errors are occuring - does anyone know how I can amend this to show value 0?

=IF(AND($D$8=0,$P$8=0),BV$8*($P$7+$AF$7)/($P$8+$AF$8),IF(AR$7=0,BV$8*($AT$7+$BJ$7)/($AT$8+$BJ$8),BV$8*($AT$7/$AT$8)))

Thanks

I've found a fairly easy way to get rid of div/0 errors is to do something like:

if(isnumber(*Enter Your Formula Here*), *Copy/Paste that same formula here*, 0)

Everyone has their own individual method - they all tend to be if something then else 0 - Anyone know of anything other than an if formula?

for info the one i use is:

IF(ISERR(A1/A2),0,(A1/A2))
