It is A2 that I am referring to, check that formula and adjust so that you
don't get #DIV/0

Close again but not quite. The cell with#div/0! is still showing.

Here are the values for the 2 cells concerned

a1: =IF(ISERROR(A2),"","")
a2: #div/0!

As it stands cell a2 needs to be made blank and cell a1 remain blank. If
a2
has a number in it i.e 17182 this must be shown but the a1 still be
hidden.

The customer is working on the logic for why #div occurs but we have been
asked for it now to show on the sheet.

Thanks

If the source is legitimately 0, you could use a formula like

=IF(M1=0,"",N1/M1)

which is far better than using ISERROR IMO.

Are you sure that masking errors is a good idea? Wouldn't it be wise to
check out why you get the #DIV/0?

Hi,

A customer has asked me to supress any hashes. Typically the error is

#div/0!

I tried iserror(a2) and it came back true. If I change the value its
false
so that works. The thing is hiding the #div/0! and hiding the result
of
the
iserror.

So I need another formula with this logic

if a2 is #div/0! then

a2 = ""

else if

a2 = the value of A2 ( it can contain a number)

and a1 (the result of Iserror)

= "" (all the time no matter if is true or false)

Thanks

Nathan
