It means that your formula attempted to divide a number by 0, which is an
illegal operation. You can write your formula to circumvent the error with
something like the following:

=IF(B1=0,"",A1/B1)

or

=IF(your_formula = 0,"",your_formula)

or, in 2007,

=IFERROR(A1/B1,"")

What does #DIV/0! mean when it shows up in a cell with a formula?
