Default #DIV/0! error

If you use the formula I gave you to return either "" or 0, then this
will not have any effect on the SUM formula, so they will be ignored.

Is there a way to exclude cells with the #DIV/0! error when using the sum
function

example =SUM(C41:H41)

You could do it this way:


=IF(SUMIF('Tech Ops Data Base 2007.xls'!TechallDate,C$36&$A37,'Tech
Ops Data Base 2007.xls'!salesWO)=0,"",SUMIF('Tech Ops Data Base
2007.xls'!TechallDate,C$36&$A37,'Tech Ops Data Base 2007.xls'!sales)/
SUMIF('Tech Ops Data Base 2007.xls'!TechallDate,C$36&$A37,'Tech Ops
Data Base 2007.xls'!salesWO)


i.e. if the denominator is zero then return a blank, otherwise do the
calculation. You can change the "" in the middle to 0 if you wish.


Another way would be to use:


=IF(ISERROR(your_formula),"",your_formula)


though this would trap all errors.


Hope this helps.

However in some causes I am receiving the following error #DIV/0!. Is there
anything I can do to the above formula to remove that error
