0.00%;-0.00%;0

Hi, First post. I have 2009 sales data in column O and 2008 sales data column
P and the the following formula in column Q = O1/P1 as have formatted it as a
% to show an increase or decease

When the sales data in column o is 0 and p is 0 the result is #DIV/0!
When the sales data in column o is 0 and p is 0 the result is a %

I want the workbook to display a % when column o is 0

If both 0 & P are 0 i want a 0 to be displayed

I appreciate you help

Thanks
Michael
