HELP...anyone got any suggestions

This partly worked but does not capture all senarios...
ie;


F/Cast Actual Answer
0 110 0.00% this should be 100% wrong as there is no forecast
90 0 "100% wrong" correct
0 0 "100% wrong" this should be 0% as there is no forecast or sales

Do I need more If statements... I'm getting a bit lost, or should I be
tackling it a different way?

Many thanks for the help..

Use another IF statement like so:
=IF(ACTUAL!D64=0,"100%
wrong",IF(SPLITS_1!D64/ACTUAL!D641,SPLITS_1!D64/ACTUAL!D64-1,1-SPLITS_1!D64/ACTUAL!D64))

This should prevent the error message.

Hi Experts

I want to produce figures for our sales team to show how accurate the
forecasts are...
I have 2 tables - SPLITS_1 which has the forecast in
ACTUAL which has the sales in

I am using the following formula

=IF(SPLITS_1!D64/ACTUAL!D641,SPLITS_1!D64/ACTUAL!D64-1,1-SPLITS_1!D64/ACTUAL!D64)

this works fine unless there is a zero in one of the tables. I need to be
able to return that if the forecast said 50, and the sales were 0, then it
was 100% wrong also visa versa, otherwise do the calculation... to give the %

Many thanks for your help as always...
