It returns a true error as opposed to a text version which would be "N/A"
If you are doing average calculations you should go for the text version
since average ignores text and has to be changed to cope with errors

Hi Peo
The () after NA in your formula produces a #N/A answer for each zero in
columnB.
Has the # any purpose as apposed to just N/A?
TIA

Assume the div error is because B2 is empty in =A2/B2
Then you could use =IF(B2=0,NA(),A2/B2)
or
=IF(B2=0,"",A2/B2)

A lot of the data i deal with involves counting and dividing. A
percentage
may be presented in the worksheet. Instead of #DIV/0!, I would like
for
N/A,
not available, to appear in the cell. How do i create a formula of
sorts
that
will display the average, for example, or N/A if there is division by
0.
This will help me a lot because i won't have to look over hundreds of
cells
to spot all the divison by zero errors and i don't have to worry about
recalculations not appearing because formulas have been deleted to put
N/A
in
the cells
Thanks very much!
