I think you're confused. If your formula is

=jan!E10/E2

then the only way you can get #DIV/0 returned is if E2 is 0 (or blank)
or if jan!e10 contains a formula that returns #DIV/0.


In the former case, it's best to use

=IF(E2=0,"",jan!E10/E2)

In the latter, use that type of formula in jan!E10

I have a formula on one spreadsheet that uses data from other spreadsheets in
one workbook. The formula is =jan!e10/e2, and repeats down to =jan!e88/e2.
This equals a percentage. I am having trouble when jan!e10 is blank, it
gives me the #div/0! error, but when I try to do a conditional format, it
tells me that I cannot refer to cells on other spreadsheets. Is there
something I can do so it either shows a 0 or leaves it blank? Or even makes
the font white to match the background until a number is filled in?
