hate to bother you yet again, but I'm trying to make sure that I understand
the statement you wrote... can you please explain the syntax, I'm just trying
to make better sense of it than i'm doing on my own... :)

I'm trying to write a formula to calculate the percentage of two cells. The
simplified formula reads:
=B12/(B12 + H12)

The problem is when H12 and B12 both = zero. Zero divided by zero = divide
by zero error.

The desired result, display 0%

I looked at the online help, and it gives me a sample formula, but for the
life of me, i just can't seem to get it to work out with 'my desired
result'...

help... please... :)
