Hello Gurus!

Here's the deal -- I'm trying to get a percentage value for column VP
as presented below:

July 2005
A B V VP

10 4,757 (4,747) -99.79%
0 32,730 (32,730) -100.00%
0 9,519 (9,519) -100.00%
0 4,757 (4,757) -100.00%
10 0 10
0 0 0
20 51,763 (51,743) -99.96%

Since columns A and B may often contain 0 as a value, I get a #DIV/0
error of I try to calculate a percentage (using =V/B).

As a workaround, I have tried "=IF(ISERROR(B4/C4=0),"",D4/C4)" where B4
is the cell in column A, C4 is the cell in column B and the percentage
of variance (VP) is the cell in column V divided by the cell in column
B.

The problem is that the ISERROR formula as I have written it will not
show a value for the variance where there is 0 in either column A or B,
even though one of the two columns may have a value other than 0.

Does anyone know how to get the variance percentage (VP) to get written
while still suppressing the error message?

Thanks for any help with this.
