Hello,

I am very new to writing VBA code.I have the code below and for some reason keep getting run time error 6 "division by 0". The values in the cells i am trying to divide do not have a zero so i am very puzzled. The division by zero error only happens in my "Cloud PBX Voice Services (MRC - Monthly changers)" section. but in the other 4 sections I get a runtime error 11 "overflow" I have searched for days to find why this is happening but have found nothing. Any help is Greatly appriciated.

Also quckly want to add that the macro does actualy perform all the math and place it on the sheet even tho the error is there.

Thanks

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

r = Target.Row
c = Target.Column
Value = ActiveSheet.Cells(r, c)
rw = r
If c = 3 Then
    Exit Sub
End If
If c = 1 Then
    

    If ActiveSheet.Cells(r, c + 1).Interior.Color = 16776960 Or ActiveSheet.Cells(r, c + 1).Interior.Color = 16776961 Then
        
       Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 7) = Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 1) * Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 6)
       Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 9) = Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 6) - Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 8)
       Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 10) = Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 9) / Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(r, 6)
       Call total(rw)
       Call total_chg
    End If

there should always be a value above 0 in column 6. near the bottom of the code you will see that column 6 should be filled in with a value from another sheet based on the value in column 2. there are no associated values of 0 on the other sheets column 8.

but you are filling it in after you divide. The line that is giving the error is not putting a formula in a cell, it is doing the math and putting a value in the cell.

1st off Thanks for the reply and your time. Im not sure i am following. I placed the line of code that is giving the error at the bottom as to be onw of the last things done. Is this what you mean. I am still getting the same errors.

Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

r = Target.Row
c = Target.Column
Value = ActiveSheet.Cells(r, c)
rw = r
If c = 3 Then
    Exit Sub
End If

If ActiveSheet.Cells(r, c).Interior.Color = 16776960 Or ActiveSheet.Cells(r, c).Interior.Color = 16776961 Then

    For i = 2 To 100

It would be better there but I see some problems.

if the interior color is 16776960 or 16776961, then the value of r may be modified by the first loop. I don't see the where 'i' is used anywhere in the the loop but I see r=r-1 which will make you lose the row that was changed.

Could the code be calling itself?

I expect so since several places set cell values on activesheet. But it is only going to make changes if it is column 1 or 6 or one of the 2 interior colors. (though the calls to total and total_chg concern me because they could cause endless looping)

Here is the code for total-chg

Code: 
Sub total_chg()
x = 0
Sum = 0
Sum_MRC = 0
Sum_mark = 0
For i = 20 To 1000

    If Trim(Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(i, 5)) = "Total" Then
        
        Sum_MRC = Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(i, 7)
        Exit For
        
    End If

Next
For i = 20 To 1000

    If Trim(Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(i, 5)) = "Total" Then
        
        Sum = Sum + Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(i, 7)
        Sum_mark = Sum_mark + Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(i, 9)
        x = x + 1
        
    End If
    If x = 5 Then
        Exit For
    End If

Next

Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(10, 7) = Sum_MRC
Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(11, 7) = Sum - Sum_MRC
Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(15, 6) = Sum_mark
If Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(11, 7) <> 0 Then
    Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(15, 7) = Sum_mark / Sheets("Work sheet").Cells(11, 7)
End If
End Sub

And her is total (rw)

Code: 
Sub total(rw)

Sum_MpA = 0
Sum_ECC = 0
For i = 1 To 100
    If Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(rw, 3) = "Description" Then
    
        For k = 1 To 100
            rw = rw + 1
            
            Sum_MpA = Sum_MpA + Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(rw, 9)
            Sum_ECC = Sum_ECC + Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(rw, 7)
            
            If Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(rw + 1, 5) = "Total" Then
              
                Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(rw + 1, 9) = Sum_MpA
                Sheets("Work Sheet").Cells(rw + 1, 7) = Sum_ECC

                Exit Sub
            End If
            
        
        Next
           
    End If
    rw = rw - 1

Next



End Sub

Thanks again for help guys!

ok since neither of those are effecting column 1 or 6, you will probably not have problems caused by reentry to the event procedure.
